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.
Four small changes
-
Expandable / collapsible race meetings
We've tidied up the racecard menu page further by hiding all races behind their meeting header bar, as you can see below.
Clicking on a blue bar, for example, Naas, opens the races for that meeting:
Clicking the '+' or '-' buttons top left will expand all or collapse all meetings. Nice and tidy.
2. Added Irish racecourse info links
We've also added links to our Irish racecourse information pages. These are packed full of intel regarding course layout, draw or run style biases, top trainers and jockeys, upcoming races, recent results, latest news and more.
We now have these in place for all courses and I encourage you to check them out if you haven't already, especially for courses you're maybe less familiar with.
3. Mobile card menu tweaks
We've streamlined the mobile menu to provide more space in your device's 'viewport' for the actual race you're looking at. To do that, we simply removed some of the date buttons and placed them behind a dropdown.
As you can see below, things are a bit slicker now.
4. Added Race Conditions data
The sole 'new data' upgrade is the addition of race conditions information. This is found in the blue race bar on the right hand side. Clicking on that link reveals, inline, the conditions for the race. This is especially useful in non-handicap races where the weights horses carry are often a little confusing without such insight.
There is, as ever, more coming soon, so stay tuned!

Excellent update Matt, can’t wait for the fast finishers data, it might be the end of being nabbed on the line.
It just keeps getting better and better for the geegeez bettor.

Hi Chris
Fast finishers involves a lot of ‘not quite getting there’, which I guess is different from being nabbed on the line!
But plenty of them at good prices, and plenty of them winning, too 🙂
Matt
Horses that show they have a burst of acceleration inside the final furlong to win a race are always of interest to me. Hopeful that this will make them easier to spot.
I didn’t word that very well Matt. I agree with you. I like to spot these fast finishers and hopefully be on them.
Rohaan a flag bearer for the Six to Follow from earlier in they year, winning at 22/1 today.

Well done on Rohaan Matt, I must pay closer attention to your articles!
I did well on pace horses at Ascot yesterday, Oh This Is Us 66/1 (70 on Bf) and Pettochside 25/1 (34 on Bf) another great angle worth following, as you have been advocating for a long time.
Brilliant, well played!! I was gutted to miss OTIU as I’ve backed him numerous times this winter on the all weather. When he gets a strong pace in front, he’s a proper finisher.
