WELCOME TO LOU DIAMONDS SPEED FIGURES

     "One Speed Figure to rule them all, one Speed Figure to use and win them all"

What are the Diamonds figures?

       My speed Figures are based on sound and scientific parameters that utilze all the essential details for a good race horse at the time of his race, like workouts, time, distance between races, weight carried, etc, to base this figure on, believe, it is a true predicter of how fast a horse can run.

TIME IS EVERYTHING: Yes, it is the best indicater of a sound horse, do not believe those handicappers that say time doesn't matter.

Clue to HOW  Diamonds figures make the difference:

   Which Race is faster?, race and tracks as follows:

   1.  Two horses run 6 F's races on 2 different  Tracks which is faster:

  A    Turf paradise track 1:10.0  

                    or

  B     Fairgrounds   track 1:11.0

Answer: Diamonds Figure  A= S- 82 and B= S- 85, so the answer is B, so the horse that ran 1:11.0 is faster, this is how Diamonds figures can make the difference in handicapping for you!

THERE ARE 5 DEFINITIONS OF DIAMONDS SPEED FIGURES  AND THE EXPANDED EDITIONS

THESE  ARE THE FIGURES YOU ACTUALLY PURCHASE, they are as follows:

1. S- Diamonds absolute speed figure*

    *This is the only figure in my 6 race editions, make no mistake this is a powerful figure it means everything of a horses ability to run on that given day

S- Speed figure, this is the Lou Diamonds speed figure, based conditioning and time as well as track varient (condition of running surface).

2. P/S- Pace/Speed Figure is based on the horses running style. Same as S- Figure only distance related*.

3 L-  L Figure means horse is too low on speed figures and conditioning combined, usually a throw out of the race.

4a P-  Pace figure, based on horses running style, this figure is only used in my expanded version*.

4b  Star rating- also in my expanded editions, this rating is the best indicator of a horses absolute ability*.
