Competition idea

   I've got an idea for a competition, just thought I'd put it out there to see if there would be some interest.
Working similar to the roughies and winners competition but with a different formula.

One selection per race, with the formula being Starting price (off the Racing Australia results) x prize money, divided by the placing.

Working with the Australian Cup last week, Cascadian would have returned $7.2 million, Numerian $2.7 million, Pounding $2.34 million, El Patroness at 80-1 would have returned $694,285.

The Vinery last week would have made an interesting one, 2nd placed Pavrita would have returned a tick under $200k, while 5th placed Byron Belle would have returned a tick over $280k.

Thinking if this goes ahead it could run on the G2 races in Qld and SA, starting April 29 with a G1 in Adelaide and a couple G2 events in Qld, finishing with the Stradbroke meeting on June 10.  (Because who wants it to drag on another fortnight for the mares G1?)

	Good luck with getting it going but I'm away between the 18th April and 6th May.
