The Diamond System is a
computer handicapping system that we created in 1996. We turned it into
a computer handicapping method a few years later. It is
essentially a "pace balanced" system that gives the user
several ratings including The Diamond Rating. The Diamond Rating takes a
horses early speed, late speed, and final time and balances it out into
one number. The strength of the system is it's amazing ability to pick
longshot winners, right on top. The reason why it can pick so many
overlay and longshot winners is that it balances the pace of the race.
For instance, say a horse goes fast early but loses by 10 lengths. Using
traditional Speed Figures, this horse will look like it declined, and
speed handicappers will dismiss it because they are looking at the final
time figure. But, depending on the pace of the race, the Diamond System
may reward this horse for its early energy expenditure and rank
it right
on top.
But it doesn't just balance early pace. Horses that run fast late are
also rewarded. The way the Diamond Rating is calculated, early speed
takes preference over late speed, but both are in the calculations.
Below is the printout from Yonkers, Monday, May 7, 2012, race 1. I
used option L, which gives you 3 ratings for each horse. To save website
space I cut off the bottom part of the printout, but you can see that
the system picked the winner Butn Your Shirt Ed on top with a nice 11
point advantage. The horse paid $43.20 to win. Then in the 2nd race on
the same card, the Diamond System also picked the winner and the COLD
$303.00 Daily Double. Note that in the 2nd race, the winner Travelin
Preacher, was a "Double Diamond," meaning that it was ranked
on top twice, a strong indicator. The Windsurfer was scratched in the
2nd so the $321.00 trifecta could have been hit with a key trifecta play
for $12.00.

Below is a printout from Monticello Raceway, May 1,
2012. Here the winner Joans Bad boy was a "Double Diamond" on
option L and paid a whopping $56.00. The Diamond System correctly picked
the COLD $324.00 Exacta and the monster $1290.00 trifecta.
Below you see a recent (Sept 19, 2011) printout from the
first race at Monticello. The Diamond System picked the race 5-8-6. The
8 won and paid $185.50 and the top two picks completed a monstrous
$447.00 exacta. The top 3 picks had the $12,646 trifecta. A customer of
mine who used the system had the trifecta and took down the entire pool.

The system can be run several ways. You can pick your own paceline,
or you have several automatic paceline options. The printout below shows
races 1 and 2 at Monticello on October 23. This was automatic paceline
option L, which gives you each horse's last 3 ratings and ranks them
from the best (lowest) down. Here the system crushed the first two races
picking a cold $180.50 Daily Double, a cold $166 trifecta, and it had
the cold $35.40 and $55 exactas in both races.

Diamond System for Harness Racing works with Trackmaster exe pp files (www.trackmaster.com).
