Exactly ten years ago, I wrote a blog post entitled "Today I Am 40", which you can read here should you be so inclined. Being mathematically astute, you will have figured out that a full decade has since passed and I am now marking the milestone (millstone?) that is fifty. 40 was a largely pleasurable […]
In the table below are links to past performance videos for most the 2021 Breeders' Cup contenders. The table is fully sortable, and contains a search function to locate a particular horse or race.
As longer term readers/subscribers will know, we're constantly investing in improving geegeez.co.uk and, in particular, the toolkit that is Geegeez Gold. In the past year and a half, we've added a new metric (Percentage of Rivals Beaten), the Profiler tab in the cards, a more mobile friendly version of the entire site, new reports for […]
After the weirdness (and, at times, tedium) of last season's concertinaed behind-closed-doors matches-every-day affair, the delayed Euro 2020 tournament has acted as a palate cleanser ahead of the return to something closely resembling normality in the upcoming 2021/22 football season. The regular reader (thanks mum) will know this is my one-time foray into my other […]
The second of three articles requested by readers was on the subject of the Profiler tab, which we introduced to Geegeez Gold racecards this time last year. So, in this post, I'll show you how it works and outline some use cases, including how you can get around the inflexibility of 'today's race conditions'. I've […]
Much has been made of sectional timing in the past 18 months or so, including by me, and it can indeed offer great insight into how races were run. But the challenge for publishers, including here at geegeez.co.uk, is to successfully answer the question, "How do I use sectional timing to inform my betting?". That […]
The searing heat of battle that is Royal Ascot is now a fading memory but its impact on the form book will permeate throughout the remainder of this season and beyond. Picking performances of extreme merit is not difficult - Poetic Flare's demolition in the St James's Palace Stakes, Subjectivist's similar one horse show in […]
Royal Ascot 2021: Day 4 Preview, Tips Day four of five, Friday, at Royal Ascot features a brace of Group 1's, the Commonwealth Cup and Coronation Stakes, as well as the usual smattering of inscrutible juvenile dashes and impossible full field handicaps. We're guessing on the ground a little at this stage (Wednesday lunchtime) and, […]
Royal Ascot 2021: Day 2 Preview, Tips Wednesday, day 2, and another heptagon of sides to take or, in plain English, seven races to decode. Just seven sides to take in the feature Group 1, the Prince of Wales's Stakes at 4.20 also, but they promise a superb race. That main course is for later, […]
Royal Ascot 2021: Day 1 Preview, Tips More normal than the 2020 edition, but still not quite normal: that's the best way to view Royal Ascot 2021, a mid- to post-pandemic shot in the arm for British racing and its legion fans. Although no more than 12,000 of those supporters will be able to attend […]
Just a few small tweaks this month, and some minor bug fixes. DR / RS columns in Card form The biggest of the small changes, for me at least, is the addition of draw (DR) and run style (RS) columns to the racecard inline form. These valuable snippets of info can help understand whether horses […]
Another month, another set of new features within Geegeez Gold designed to help you know more than other people about a race. Before we start... Did you know? Mobile users hankering after the good old bad old days of pinch and swipe to expand the desktop view on a phone... ...can still do that! Within […]
If you logged into the geegeez racecards this morning and were surprised or confused by what you saw, sorry about that, and let me explain. The video below highlights the four small (but highly visible) changes made, as do the words and pictures beneath the video - if you prefer to read than to watch. […]
Last May, when there was no racing and the flat season had yet to begin, I wrote a post about form profiling which you can read here. In it, I shared five horses which had displayed a specific pattern of conditions to most of their wins: a profile if you will. I then outlined how […]
This morning, we upgraded our racing form software to make some important changes for mobile device (smartphones, tablets) users. Firstly, thank you for your patience while we made those changes. We rarely go fully 'off grid' but occasionally it's necessary. Secondly, we're aware of a few glitches and issues, as per the below list. We […]
