The Overlay is an Australian horse racing tips site that rates every runner on the benchmark scale, turns the ratings into a rated price, and calls a bet when the market price is bigger than ours and a lay when it is shorter.

An overlay is a horse whose market price is longer than its true chance, so a $5 horse we rate a $4 chance is an overlay and worth a bet.

Calls go out by email and in Discord at 11am Sydney time on race day. New calls can come through the day, and once a horse is called it stays a call. Lays post in Discord 30 minutes before each jump.

Every TAB flat meeting in Australia, every state, with one race a day free and the rest open to members.

Every settled call, won and lost, is on our results page, day by day, and it updates through the day.

Yes, members get every call and every lay in our Discord before the jump, and the free race, winners and Saturday review are open to everyone.

Saturday tips are $6.70 a week, Saturday plus Wednesday $10.40, every day $15.90, billed monthly at $29, $45 and $69, and your first plan starts free on monthly and longer. Pay weekly from $10 from day one, or save 40% quarterly and 50% yearly on the weekly price. Or buy day passes from $10 each.

Australian benchmark points, the same scale as the race classes, so a horse rated 64 belongs in a Benchmark 64 race and the best horses in the world sit around 130.

The one number everything adds up to: the horse's class rating, adjusted for today's race.

Our price for the horse, worked out from the Today ratings of the whole field, shown next to its win chance so you can compare it with the market.

A bet is a horse whose market price is bigger than our rated price, a lay is a horse whose market price is shorter than our rated price and worth opposing on the exchange.

A bet is a horse the market has longer than our rated price by a clear margin. A Prime Overlay is our strongest bet, a big gap on a horse with a real chance, shown in lime. A Way Overlay is a bet at a big price, a roughie the market has way over the odds, shown in the lighter blue and struck at small stakes because most of them lose and the ones that win pay for the rest.

A day pass opens every race and our Discord for one race day, costs $10, never expires, gets cheaper in bundles of 3, 5 or 10, and you use it on the day from the home page, Today's tips or any race. Use one after 4pm and it opens tomorrow too.
