Calling all 6-7-8 Trifectas! Posted on October 22, 2025 at 12:34:28 PM by Tiger
Help me find the few times that a 6-7-8 trifecta has come in. I've been through my old stuff and have only found 6 so far. I'm looking only for Spectacular-7 games.
They started playing tris in the mid 70s, so that's close to a million games. At a chance of 1 in 108,943 (thanks, Craig G), there should a dozen or so out there. Here are the ones I've identified, so far:
#1 - Newport Jai-Alai
June, 1979
Found on tri stats page only, no details
Data received from dd (Chalk Talk poster)
Awaiting details
#2 - Bridgeport Jai-Alai
Friday, December 26, 1980
Game 5
Paid $9,001.05
Only ticket, part of a $9 box ($1.50 per combo)
Details to follow

Game 11 - Doubles (Danny subbed for Jesus)
