A horse race has 13 entries. Assuming that there are no ties, what is the probability that the three horses owned by one person finish first, second, third

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

Assuming that the person does not have more than 3 horses in the race:

3/13 * 2/12 * 1/11 = 1/286
