The Cheltenham Festival 2025 was, as always, a glorious assault on the senses and a searching test of constitution across four days. The thrilling sport has been covered in detail elsewhere on site and so in this post I'll ask and answer this: 28 races later, how did it go from a wagering standpoint? The […]
Cheltenham Festival 2025: Day Four Preview, Tips And so to Friday, Gold Cup day, on what has - for me at least - been a chastening week. The Chastening Festival: I hope that doesn't catch on. Regardless of where you are against your ledger, we have seven spectacular servings of sport to savour so let's […]
Cheltenham Festival 2025: Day 3 Preview, Tips Day Three, Thursday, and it's a case of New Courses for Old as we 'change ends' for the second half. Fresh ground, then, probably nicely watered so no excuses - apart from the obvious (picking the wrong horse). 1.20 Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2, 2m 1f) […]
Cheltenham Festival 2025: Day Two Preview, Trends, Tips Day Two. Wednesday. The second half of the first half - or the second quarter if you prefer - and a day when, seemingly, it has rained since time immemorial. After a full soaking in the past two years, it's looking dry if a little cool for […]
Cheltenham Festival 2025: Day One Preview, Tips We're back! The 2025 Cheltenham Festival is here and, for those of us who have found patience for its arrival difficult, the great news is it starts ten minutes earlier! Yes, it's a 1.20pm kick off each day, moved from the traditional half-one slot, so don't tune in […]
With four days of fierce sport at the Cheltenham Festival looming in the headlights, and much of the form study complete, now is a great time to think about strategy. Availing of any bookmaker concessions to which you're still entitled is a no-brainer, and the best I'm aware of to date on that score is […]
The Cheltenham Festival is almost upon us. For some it's just another race meeting, for many it's a special week in the racing calendar, and for a few it's Christmas and birthday rolled into one. Wherever you fit on that spectrum there are things about betting on Cheltenham that are different and that you ought […]
In front of a full house of keen racing fans, London Racing Club's brains trust assembled. They were Lydia Hislop (LH), Matt Tombs (MT), Jamie Benson (JB), and maintaining order, Lee Mottershead (LM). What follows are the notes I managed to make from their thoughts. Tuesday Supreme Novices' Hurdle LH: Kopek des Bordes (KdB) will […]
Every January since forever I have totted up my betting account deposits and withdrawals for the previous year to work out where I stand. For the last few I've done that publicly on here, though not last year - I've put that right below. [Shock, horror, it was a *losing* year - the full grizzly […]
Happy New Year to you! Here's hoping 2025 is another year packed full of thrilling action on the track, and some terrific bets landed. More importantly, I wish you and yours the very best of health for the coming year. Meanwhile, on geegeez.co.uk, we've got a brand new TRENDS racecard tab, woohoo! It looks like […]
Geegeez has a couple of new features - and a new membership tier - going live this week. Let's get straight to it... New Feature #1: Odds History We've added odds history data so you can see the trajectory of price movement. But I wanted to present an uncluttered view of the movement, unlike other […]
Another winning ticket yesterday but, again, the dividend was measly meaning profits were, too. Still 25% ROI is not terrible and clawed back some of the Monday deficit. Wednesday is my final contribution in this stint - Chris is back tomorrow - and I think we'll stay over jumps. It's cold out there, Hexham failing […]
After 17 straight winners highlighted across three days, we came down to earth with a mighty bump in the last leg of yesterday's Leicester placepot, as one of the two A picks refused to race and took no part; and the other performed little better. Galling was that the favourite for a bang in form […]
Another small profit on Saturday, which was a pity as the post highlighted all six winners including 10/1 Il Ridoto in the big race; and four of the six exactas (1-2) which paid £8.10, £60.60, £8.50 and £21.80! There's plenty to go at again today, with jumps racing from Leicester, Plumpton and Exeter; and evening […]
A 49% ROI (£24 to £35.70) with Friday's Tix play at Cheltenham was more fun and giggles than rock and roll, but it keeps things ticking over. There's a bumper Saturday menu today, with the Paddy Power Gold Cup highlighting Cheltenham's November fixture, as well as high class action at Navan and competitive racing at […]
