Nick Tammaro, Michael Chamberlain, and Pat Cummings take a shot at this week's Sixty Minute Six, which has a carryover of nearly $40,000 and some competitive races. Now let's see if some stay on the turf!

NICK TAMMARO

Monmouth Park - Race 8

In what is truly a competitive race, I'm going to go to a horse from a very potent barn that rarely ships around without specific intent. The trainer in question is Kirk Ziadie who is winning at a 23% clip this year while running horses all over the mid-Atlantic and south Florida. He has #5 NOT ACCLAIM in this spot and he's going 3rd off the layoff and exiting two stakes events at Delaware and Penn National. It is a tad disconcerting that he's in for a tag, but Ziadie likely understands that they can't get much more from this guy against stakes company so why not dangle a tag from him. He is the one to beat on turf.

Saratoga Race 6 - #3,7,10
Delaware Race 8 – #7,8
Philadelphia Race 9 – #3,7
Monmouth Race 8 – #5 (Alt. 6 if on dirt)
Saratoga Race 7 – #5,6,7 (Alt. 3,8,11 if on dirt)
Monmouth Race 9 - #1,5,6,7

Total: $144

MICHAEL CHAMBERLAIN

Saratoga - Race 6

I consider this a wide-open race to get this Pick Six sequence off and running. I will go four-deep in here and I can tell you as a diehard Red Sox fan, I will not be including #5 Let’s Go Yankees. However, I will use #3 Maps Hope as my top pick in the Pick Six opener. The gelding was a winner two back at Belmont and ran 3rd last time out at Saratoga on August 2 with Kent Desormeaux aboard.

I also include #2 Unbridled Wish, who ran just behind #3 in that last effort. Both Unbridled’s Song and Holy Bull are present in the lineage. I also include #6 Five Demon Bag, who is coming in off a layoff and dropping in class today and #10 Arrrr, just so we can hear Tom Durkin use that outstanding race call once again.

Saratoga Race 6 - #2,3,6,10
Delaware Race 8 - #2 ,3,4,5,8
Philadelphia Race 9 - #6
Monmouth Race 8 - #2,5,10
Saratoga Race 7 - #6,7 (use #11 if on dirt)
Monmouth Race 9 - #7

TOTAL- $120

PAT CUMMINGS

Philadelphia Park - Race 9

I've singled #2 COUSIN COLEY (12-1) who races first off the claim for Cal Lynch, an astute horseman with a knack for moving up his recent pickups. This field leaves much to be desired and Lynch's other entry in the race, #6 Lion Lil (2-1), is running back off a seven day layoff and will stretch out. While Lynch was successful the one time he's done that in the last 18 months, I'll side with the better price.

Cousin Coley had a slightly eventful trip last time and just got up to win at today's distance, what was his former trainer's first win of the year in 27 starts. Lynch could easily move this one forward and you have to like the three works he's put into this New Jersey-bred. Graham Motion's #3 Overthinker is likely to take a bunch of money off the drop and he could really like a wet track, but I'm going to ride with a bit of a price in this third leg.

Saratoga Race 6 - #5,6,9,10
Delaware Race 8 – #2,4
Philadelphia Race 9 – #2
Monmouth Race 8 – #1,4
Saratoga Race 7 – #5,7,9
Monmouth Race 9 - #2,5,6
