Thanks, everybody.
In defense of all of us seniors, for about half of our lives we would have had to hit a trifecta or a twin-trifecta to hit something really big. No Pick 3's, 4's, 5's, or Pick 6's were on the menu. Here's an interesting tidbit from this link:

"It wasn’t until the 1980s that Kentucky Derby betting started expanding in reach and complexity.
Simulcast wagering began as a one-off experiment in 1981 and resumed in 1984, allowing bettors at racetracks and locations other than Churchill Downs to wager into the giant Kentucky Derby betting pools at Churchill Downs.
This technological advance was followed by innovative wagering offerings. The exacta joined the Kentucky Derby betting menu in 1985, followed by the trifecta in 1994 and the superfecta in 1996.
Multi-race wagers also entered the fold as pari-mutuel betting expanded. The Pick 6 was introduced at Churchill Downs in July 1984, requiring bettors to pick the winners of six consecutive races. A Pick 6 ending with the Kentucky Derby quickly became a staple of the betting menu, alongside other popular options, like the Pick 3 and a special double wager requiring bettors to select the winners of both the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks."
At any rate, I feel compelled to say that IMO the Preakness card offers less opportunities to make a score than CD on Derby Day or Belmont on Belmont Day. Mainly because Pimlico has the most consistent dirt surface. The best horse usually wins the dirt races races there for a reason and I believe it's the really honest surface. A horse not taking to it is rare.
