In the first of a new and occasional - maybe very occasional if nobody else wants to share what they're doing! - series, we free up the stage for a Geegeez Gold subscriber 'show and tell'. This inaugural episode features Gold user Rob Bayliss talking about how he combines various elements of the service to […]
Betting is fun, perhaps more so on horses than most other sports because of the speed with which the result is known; that rapid production of endorphins induced by the short duration of a race compared with, say, a football match. Arriving at a selection is also fun, the process taking a good bit longer […]
As has become a bit of an annual tradition, each year in early January I share my personal betting P&L. To be frank, it's all rather mundane - certainly no financial fireworks at any rate - but I'm very happy to continue to 'walk the talk'. To be clear, that means having a huge amount […]
It's been another bumper year of content on geegeez, the daily news and pointers feeds supplemented by some outstanding contributions from our editorial team. What follows is a selection of some of the top posts published here in 2022. Beneath the pick of the posts, I've also added links to the author's full article lists […]
The Breeders' Cup action on the tracks at Keeneland was, barring the high class procession of Flightline in the Classic, fiercely contested and highly emotionally charged. So, too, was betting the races; and, for this punter at least, it was a white knuckle roller coaster of a weekend. Allow me to elaborate... A feature of […]
This time next week the first five, of fourteen, Breeders' Cup races will be upon us. Friday is juvenile day, with nine older horse Championship races following on Saturday, and the action - both on track and in the betting - will be feverish. One of the beauties of the Breeders' Cup is the convergence […]
Breeders' Cup Trends for Keeneland 2022 This will be the 39th renewal of the great transatlantic horseracing shemozzle that is the Breeders' Cup and, while some races are a lot newer than that, most have a historical profile worth noting. What follows are some observations based on what we've seen previously in the hope that […]
With the National Hunt season upon us once more, the team here at geegeez.co.uk is thrilled to once again be sponsoring the upwardly mobile yard of Anthony Honeyball. Operating out of Potwell Farm, set in a beautiful nook on the Dorset / Somerset border, Anthony and Rachael have been gradually improving both the quality and […]
The first Sunday in October is the traditional date for Europe's middle distance Championship race, the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Run at Longchamp over a mile and a half (2400 metres if you prefer) the race invariably cements the reputation of a champion elect or elevates the status of a hitherto underrated contender. […]
They're pretty subtle; you'd be forgiven for missing them. Unless you had seen our twitter feed... First full day of operation for our new 'go faster' stripes indicator, highlighting horses to have been marked up sectionally... ...and they flag a 43/1 exacta from just five runners on the day sporting the Fast Finisher badge! […]
As they say, prediction is difficult, especially about the future; and what better frame upon which to overlay such haphazard clairvoyance than three 25-runner straight track sprint handicaps? Today and tomorrow, Ayr continues to host its Western meeting which, among many enticing puzzles, features the Ayr Gold Cup and its *two* consolation races, the Silver […]
That's a tempting carrot being dangled as part of geegeez' latest racehorse syndicate. Shares are available now in this handsome three-year-old gelding purchased at the Goffs Spring Store Sale in May. A strapping son of Black Sam Bellamy, he is eligible for the £100,000 Goffs Sales Bumper in March and his trainer was keen to […]
It's not yet the end of July and yet here we are again, about to embark upon another ten months of kicking and screaming courtesy of the only round ball game that really counts (with obvs apols to fans of other, less count-y, round ball games). I loves me footy and, though this is a […]
Tote Review Pool betting is a particular love of mine, for two main reasons: fun, and value. Whilst these are not mutually exclusive, they are not necessarily mutually inclusive, either; which is to say, sometimes I bet for the hell of it - a placepot for a bit of interest, let's say - and sometimes […]
One of the biggest weeks of Summer festival racing is upcoming, with both Galway and Goodwood hosting multi-day garden parties featuring Pimm's and ponies next week. The action on the track will be as heady as many of the next morning hangovers off it, and in such busy circumstances it can pay to revise ahead […]
