THE HARNESS DIAMOND SYSTEM Version 18.5.9

The Diamond System is a computer handicapping system that I created in 1996 and 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 will reward this horse for its early energy expenditure and put 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 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.
