Wait a sec, let me use some Horse Track parlance.

I'm not betting on all three to show, i.e. to finish in the top three. Nor am I betting on them to place, i.e. to finish first or second. And I'm not betting on any of them to win straight out. I'm betting the trifecta, i.e. a specific combination of first, second and third. But my trifecta is not based on first, second, and third... my trifecta is that all three share the throne, i.e. all win.

I think picking these three exact heads of the dragon is more difficult than just picking one.
