ARLINGTON PARK

RACE 4

Below is the Diamond System printout using automatic paceline option T for today's 4th race at Arlington. The top ranked horse, Sonny Sixkiller, earned an improved Diamond Rating in his 3yo debut on 5/25. In his next start (which is not shown here) he was sent long on turf and dueled for the lead over a soft turf course in a race that was much better than his lone turf race as a 2yo. He makes his 3rd start of his 3yo form cycle today and goes turf to poly while turning back to a sprint. Saratoga Breeze has Trackmaster's L notation, which is a longshot indicator that Trackmaster's software provides. Saratoga Breeze has the best kick rating in a race that figures to unfold at a solid pace. I gave this race out on my Sharphorses Selection Service today and picked it 5-7-4-6.

7	MAGICAL MATT	8-1 2C
6	GRIEF	8-1
8	GO FLIGHT	10-1

NIGHT ACTION showed little in debut at Churchilll Downs but adds blinkers and stretches out, is bred to handle turf and distance, shows a bullet work for this spot for high-percentage barn...MAGICAL MATT is bred for turf and debus for good 1ster barn...GRIEF stretches out after showing little in two Churchill sprints...GO FLIGHT made debut in a key race at the Keeneland meet, may improve in 2nd start.

RACE 9

12	INTO MISCHIEF*	5-2 LS
8	COLONEL JOHN	5-2
2	MASSIVE DRAMA	5-2
10	MONBA	4-1

INTO MISCHIEF gets a tough post but appears to have plenty of ability. He won a key race in debut then was a sharp 2nd in GR3 sprint. Has trained strongly for Mandella and his low dosage profile suggests that he should get the distance...COLONEL JOHN finished strongly to win his first route race and continues to train well for hot barn; unlike the other top contenders, he is already proven at this distance...MASSIVE DRAMA beat top pick gamely in last, has trained sharply for Baffert and is the one to catch...MONBA won going a mile around one turn at Churchill, ships in for Pletcher/Gomez and is hard to dismiss in competitive stakes race.

2	Into Mischief	Victor Espinoza	29.60	11.00	8.40
8	Colonel John	Corey S. Nakatani		4.00	3.60

Free Picks scored with an $11.80 winner (see below) on Thanksgiving Day. Sharphorses Selection Service had been in the midst of a torrid hot streak, producing 6 straight profitable days on top picks. At a cost of less than a $1.00 a day this service is a tremendous bargain. Pandy's Live Longshots have shown a substantial flat bet profit since being introduced over three years ago, and we just added a new feature, our Play of the Day, which is the best potential value play of the day. Saturday's won and paid $11.80.

RACE 3

4	WHATA YA MEAN**	2-1
5	CHEROKEE HEAVEN	5-2
2	CASUAL THUNDER	3-1
1	BRONZINO	5-1

WHATA YA MEAN showed speed and tired over a wet turf course in last start back in May. Showed good speed wiring his field from post 12 at this distance in prior start. Training nicely for good layoff barn and may be loose on the lead for Bejarano here...CHEROKEE HEAVEN broke maiden nicely...CASUAL THUNDER finally got his 3nd win in last, fits here on best...BRONZINO raced well off the pace over this coure last year then was sent to the lead in both starts this year and faltered badly. I would have to think that they'll take this one back today and that could set things up for our top pick to be lone speed.

Race:		3	Win	Place	Show
1st	4	Whata Ya Mean	11.80	6.80	5.00

Friday's Breeders Cup winner

RACE 10 BREEDERS' CUP DIRT MILE (at 1 70)

8	CORINTHIAN	8-5
1	DISCREET CAT	8-5
7	PARK AVENUE BALL	15-1
3	WANDERIN BOY	8-1

CORINTHIAN has been freshened up and figures to be charging from off a fast pace...DISCREET CAT hasn't shown anything in two starts this year after looking like a superhorse as a 3yo. Reportedly training sharp, Gomez has to try to avoid a speed duel but if this horse is right it won't matter...PARK AVENUE BALL has 6 wins over this track, is at his best distance and handles wet surface...WANDERIN BOY this distance is perfect for him and he is arguably the best off track horse in the race. His best races have all come on the lead but there's no guarantee he'll be able to set the pace here.

Race:		10	Win	Place	Show
1st	8	Corinthian	9.40	4.40	3.00
2nd	6	Gottcha Gold		6.20	3.40

THE PREAKNESS DIAMOND SYSTEM PRINTOUT

Note: For this printout, I manually selected each paceline. I tried to use each horse's best race at 9 furlongs or longer but three of the horses have never raced that far, including Bernardini, who is rated off the 1 mile Withers, and earned the top Diamond.

THE PREAKNESS DIAMOND/Formula RATINGS

As you can see, the Diamond System had the $27.80 winner on top in the 2006 2007 Preakness and had the $171.80 Exacta Cold.

Free Picks nailed the $72.00 Exacta and $163.50 Trifecta in the 2006 Wood Memorial (see below).

RACE 8 WOOD MEMORIAL

1	JAZIL	10-1
7	BOB AND JOHN	9-5
3	KEYED ENTRY	5-2
4	DEPUTY GLITTERS	4-1

JAZIL disappointed in last but has shown a good kick and may be well placed behind a fast pace; slight edge...BOB AND JOHN is the most advanced of these, one to beat...KEYED ENTRY is bred to love and off track and won big in slop recently. Dangerous if track off...DEPUTY GLITTERS improving colt.
