"60-P6" Debuts June 6/21...

[Kasept]

This is has gone largely unpublicized:

The Sixty Minute Six, a new pick six wager that combines races at:

Monmouth Park,
Belmont Park,
Philadelphia Park and
Delaware Park

[SniperSB23]

Interesting, thanks for posting. The $1 minimum is intriguing with my budget and the ability to have all six races in an hour when I have other things to do is also intriguing.

[-BT-]

sounds like an interesting new gimmic, wonder if UBET and Twinspires.com are gonna be picking this up

Philly Park is kinda rough though, i can't tell ya the last time i picked a winner at that place

I dunno, I just try to find the short-priced Motion horse at Philly and it seems to work at least half the time.

"60 percent of the time, it works every time."

[SCUDSBROTHER]

15% take-out on nice carry-over days (with a $1minimum) would make it just about the best deal I have ever heard of in racing. Unfortunately we might get Pennsylvania bred maiden claimers to bet on, but it still has to be pretty popular. WHICH WAGERING SERVICES WILL TAKE BETS ON IT?

[ArlJim78]

love the concept, just don't like the tracks other than Belmont.

Yeah, I imagine I'll only be playing on the weeks that two of the races are from Belmont.

[slotdirt]

Seriously, you guys don't like playing PHA? I think that's one of my favorite tracks to play. I think it's a great wagering opportunity.

[lemoncrush]

Well, I'm sucker to play the Magna5 every week in the winter, so I'm sure I'll take a stab at this, even though I rarely, if ever, play Delaware, Philly or Monmouth (unless I'm on vacation in Las Vegas on a Tuesday afternoon).

will debut on Saturday.

Created by the joint effort of the four racetracks, the Sixty Minute Six combines a pair of races from two of the tracks with one each from the other two. The races will be chosen so all six will be run within a one-hour span. The Sixty Minute Six will be offered every Saturday through August 30 and has a $1 base wager.

If no one successfully selects all six winners, 75 percent of the pool will carryover to the following Saturday's Sixty Minute Six. The takeout rate on the new wager is 15 percent and the pool is guaranteed at $100,000.

That is awesome. While most of the guys over at PA aren't my style, one guy had been pitching this wager for quite a while to CDSN, and it seems like his efforts have paid off.

Is this like 8 minute abs?

I am having trouble determining if you are serious or not. PHA has some of the highest takeouts in the country, so I guess if you can overcome the large early disadvantage it might not be too bad.

This will be easy money because you'll be able to single the Scott Lake horse in 3 or 4 of the legs.

To me, Philly has the least interesting cards in the country, but if the goal is to just be able to survive races, then that's a lot different situation.

Well.. here's some more news on this thing...

Just spoke to John Hines at Monmouth. This was supposed to have kicked off 2 weeks ago, but there are a few niggling contractual hiccups STILL being worked out..

They expect to kick off Saturday and should have a definite answer by tomorrow. I will have Dennis Dowd (NJSEA) or Hines on the Show tomorrow at 4:30 with details of how the bet should be called to tellers ("Belmont 7th.. Special P6" or whatever...) and which platforms/areas are taking the bet...

The format of 2/2/1/1 will rotate around, so it won't always be 2 races at BEL/MTH, etc... They are seeding it Week One with the $100k but expect it blows through that thereafter..

[ateamstupid]

Sounds great. Can't guarantee that I'll play, but I'll certainly give it a look and do some sort of write-up for it.

1 Dollar ticket.. Single Scott Lake and Joe Bravo...

[ateamstupid]

Also, this is one of the rare instances where "guaranteed pool" actually means something beneficial to the bettor and is more than an empty ploy to get people to bet more.

UPDATE: JUST SPOKE TO SAL SINATRA AT PHA PARK... PAPERWORK NOT COMPLETE FROM NJSEA SO BET WILL NOT START THIS SATURDAY...

ALSO OF NOTE, RACE SEQUENCE WILL BEGIN AT BELMONT 6TH...

[ShadowRoll]

They're probably stalling in hopes of getting more horses stabled at Delaware. Seriously, I'll be surprised if they're able to find a challenging race at DEL within the time constraints that doesn't scratch down to three or four horses. And this is coming from a BIG Delaware fan (okay, maybe I've gotten a little bitter).
