Pro-Handicap Analytics today announced the release of the Overlay Map, a new visual companion to the Track-IQ Report designed to provide horseplayers with a clear overview of the entire field in every race. The Overlay Map is powered directly by the same probability engine used in the Pro-Handicap Wizard software, ensuring that the calculations remain consistent with the modeling that has driven the system for years. These calculations are pro-caliber analytics not found anywhere else, derived through Monte Carlo simulations of 1,000 races to estimate the true winning probabilities of each horse based on key performance factors.
One of the defining features of the Overlay Map is its color-coded shading, which highlights where the system’s core metrics—such as Final Speed (SPD), Early Pace (E1/E2), Late Pace (LP), and composite pace probabilities—translate into implied odds that are shorter than the horse’s Morning Line (M/L). When a metric suggests a horse should theoretically be priced lower than its Morning Line, the shading visually signals that the horse may be undervalued relative to that performance factor. This allows users to quickly identify which metrics indicate potential value before interpreting the live tote odds, using the calculations as a professional reference point while the betting market develops. Additionally, each horse name includes superscript class indicators: ᵘ denotes a horse moving up in class, while ᵈ denotes a horse moving down in class from its previous start.
The Overlay Map also includes a Flag column that highlights potential wagering opportunities. A Buy Signal appears when a horse’s WP% (historical win percentage adjusted for stakes) indicates the horse is trading at a discount relative to its Morning Line expectation. This suggests the horse’s historical win performance implies a shorter price than the Morning Line indicates. In addition, the map identifies Extreme Signals when the discrepancy between the system’s probability-derived odds and the Morning Line reaches a +8 odds differential or greater, pointing to situations where a horse may be significantly undervalued by the betting public.
The Track-IQ Report and the Overlay Map will now be combined into a single PDF, providing users with both probability rankings and value analysis in one integrated product. This combined report will be available for purchase on the website’s Purchase Page, giving users a comprehensive race analysis that shows which horses are most likely to win and where the betting market may be offering favorable prices. Together, the Track-IQ Report and Overlay Map create a disciplined framework for evaluating races through probability, price, and value.
Below is link to the Overlay Map for Gulfstream from March 8, 2026. Already in the 1st race, a $35K maiden race at 1 1/16 mi. on the turf, the Map identified #8 Overseer as being extremely discounted in terms of LP, flagging the horse as such in the Flag Column. It’s strong LP turned out to be the difference in the race, with Overseer winning at 30-1 odds. Also worth noting is that Overseer was the only horse moving up in class while all the other horse were moving down.
