The Sixty Minute Six is back and will be even bigger in Week 2 as punters will plunge into a pool enhanced by a carryover created by Week 1 bedlam.

This week's sequence is considerably tougher than last week's, so we'll try to give you a few singles that we found that may enable some of you to play this fun and exciting wager on a reasonable budget.
Leg D- Philadelphia Park Race 9
#1 Palmilla is going to be a popular single for many players of this wager as she really stands out in her first try against Pa. breds. Jonathan Sheppard has also entered Just Hoping but there's a good chance he'll scratch that filly and leave in the major part of the entry, Palmilla.
Leg F- Delaware Race 9
For those of you, like me, who went a little too deep in the earlier legs of this sequence, you may find yourself looking to go narrow in this leg. One that may strike your fancy is #5 Power Numbers who is coming out of a strange event at Pimlico where she had to go to the paddock prior to post time to be re-shod. Once they ran she had a troubled trip and was steadied when in the midst of her main move. She's due to get a good pace setup in here as there are a number of pace horses, so taking a chance with this gal seems like a legitimate gamble.
The Ticket:
Leg A – Belmont Race 6: # 1,6,7,8,10
Leg B – Monmouth Race 7: # 2,3
Leg C – Delaware Race 8: # 2,3,4
Leg D – Philadelphia Race 9: # 1
Leg E – Belmont Race 7: # 1,3,6,8
Leg F – Delaware Race 9: # 5
Total: $120

This thing could carry again with another tough sequence comprised of five turf races and big fields in its second week. Good luck.
Leg D – Philadelphia Park Race 9
The Jonathan Sheppard-trained entry gets my nod here in the Caught In The Rain Handicap. #1 Palmilla is the preferable portion of the entry, making her third start off ten month layoff. The first race back was an ambitious spot, the Bewitch [G3] at Keeneland in the final days of the spring meet, and she was a game fifth behind Communique. She has kept the best company of anyone else in here, so the drop to a restricted stakes affair could be the juice needed to get her back to the winner’s circle. Two of her three wins have come over today’s distance and the pace should be stronger than the dawdling 51.1 she sat behind when failing to rally in the John Rooney at Delaware last time. Oh, and you get #1A Just Hoping as well, in the event both run. Confident.
Leg E – Belmont Park Race 7
Regal breeding. End of story. Oh, and a pretty decent maiden effort from #3 Monastic Springs make him the second consecutive single on this carryover version of the Sixty Minute Six. It’s rare that Tom Durkin tosses the sire and dam into the finish of a seven furlong turf race at Belmont Park, but he did it when Monastic Springs won in his first start in the seventh on May 24. By Sadler’s Wells out of Zimbabwe’s monster mare Ipi Tombe. Ipi Tombe had 12 career wins in 14 starts on three continents and was the 2003 Dubai Horse of the Year after defeating males in three consecutive races, including the 2003 Dubai Duty Free. A beast.
Her first foal, Monastic Springs, showed a late explosive foot in his first start after getting a few nudges and some clear running room. The comment line reads “rough trip,” but I’d characterize it as an odd one from Edgar Prado. After breaking last, he hustled up with a bold inside move and steadied off heels of the leader as they moved to the turn. Monastic Springs sat patient and didn’t respond initially to Prado’s encouragement. The leader bore out and blocked Monastic Springs, forcing Prado out into another rival before exploding past. The stewards looked at the race for a LONG time, but kept Monastic Springs up, and onto the winner’s condition today. This one should only get better. 12-1 in the maiden breaker was amazing – I doubt we see that today.
Leg A – Belmont Race 6: # 2,3,6,7
Leg B – Monmouth Race 7: # 2,3,10
Leg C – Delaware Race 8: # 3,6,8
Leg D – Philadelphia Race 9: # 1
Leg E – Belmont Race 7: # 9
Leg F – Delaware Race 9: # 4,10,11
Total: $108

This sequence is light-years more difficult than week one. Big budget advised.
Delaware Race 8
This isn't a single, instead it's a spread race, but one horse caught my eye. LOVERS SPAT is making her turf debut with some decent breeding for the surface. She seems to employ the perfect running style on dirt which will translate well to turn. If you look through her past performances, you notice some strong finishes between the final call and the wire. In a race like this, it's wide open, and give me Graham Motion on the turf any day of the week.
Belmont Park Race 7
#6 RIPTIDE turned the corner when switched back to the turf. If you take out his two dirt performances in fact, you've got a horse never off the board on the grass. His latest trip was less than ideal, particularly for his first try against winners. Today his rivals include Colonial Kid, whom he beat and is facing winners for the first time, and Compromise, who while the likely winner, breaks outside off a layoff and has failed twice as the favorite.
Leg A – Belmont Race 6: # 6,7
Leg B – Monmouth Race 7: # 1,2
Leg C – Delaware Race 8: # 1,2,6,10
Leg D – Philadelphia Race 9: # 1
Leg E – Belmont Race 7: # 1,6,8
Leg F – Delaware Race 9: # 3,9,11
