In a twenty-horse race, a trifecta requires selecting the first three finishers in the correct order. The odds of doing this can be calculated as the number of ways to pick three horses from twenty, multiplied by the permutations of those three horses. Specifically, the odds are 1 in 6,840, as there are 20 choices for the first horse, 19 for the second, and 18 for the third, leading to (20 \times 19 \times 18 = 6,840) possible combinations. Thus, the odds of picking the correct trifecta are 1 in 6,840.
