For the use of trifecta within the Wikipedia community, see Wikipedia:trifecta
In horse racing terminology, a trifecta is a parimutuel bet in which the better must predict which horses will finish first, second, and third in exact order. The word comes from the related betting term, "perfecta". A trifecta is known as a tiercé in France and Hong Kong and as a tris in Italy.
It is also used in sports to describe scoring three points at one time (e.g. hat-trick), or succeeding at anything three times in three consecutive attempts, such as in cricket.[citation needed]
