It's the eve of the two concurrent midsummer 'G' Festivals, Glorious Goodwood (as was. did you notice how inglorious the weather was once the name changed to the Qatar Goodwood Festival? Surely not coincidence!) on the rolling Sussex Downs, and the opening day of Galway's marathon week-long session in the west or Ireland. To emerge […]
Matt in again for Monday's Racing Insights; Sam will be in the chair early next week before Chris's return in the second half of the week: something for everyone then! Monday’s free feature of the day is the Pace tab available for ALL races. This tab is a pivotal piece of my form study as […]
In Chris's absence, and giving Sam a day off, it's Matt here for the Sunday evening shift, looking at Monday's racing. Monday’s free feature of the day is the Pace tab for all races, and it is available in its entirety to all registered users of Geegeez. It's a fundamental cornerstone of my betting research […]
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 […]
I'm excited to share that, later this week, we'll be introducing the new mobile version of the Geegeez Gold racecards and form tools. There will be little to no change to the desktop cards and tools, but users on tablet and mobile will see a quite distinctive new style. In the video below, I walk […]
