November Feature Update
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 sites where there can be well over a hundred rows of data to confuse and confuddle.
So we have an opening show price usually from the night before; and then odds updates at 8pm the night before, 7am day of race, then hourly from 9am day of race... up to an hour before the advertised off time, at which we display quarter-hour price intervals.
To access the detail, click the little coloured 'graph' icon.
Looking now, for example, will show something like this:
Later in the day/after a race, it will be more like this:
Crucially, where there is no price update, there is an empty cell. It's a clean, easily consumable view of price movement.
For those who want to go a step further, we have a graph view as well. Within that are options to review movement from Opening Show, 9am day of race, or the last two hours; and you can view either best available price movement or average price movement. It looks like this:
This is on site now and is available to all logged in geegeez users, free or paid.
New Feature #2: Video Replay Links
The second new feature may have had a spoiler alert for some eagle-eyed viewers in recent weeks, as it's been in my 'super user' account for a while. As of some time today, Gold level subscribers will be able to click out to video replays of all UK/Irish races. The race replays are hosted by the rights holders (ATR/RTV) so your click take you outside of the geegeez site, but I've found it a super convenient way to watch the race replays I need.
You'll find the links in the horse form on the Card tab, to the right of the 'Date' colum:
And in Full Form in the same place:
And on the Result tab, look for the red button:
I know for some members this will be a game-changer and I'm excited to share it.
Update #3: Introducing Geegeez 'Lite'
Regular readers will know that I frequently survey site visitors to understand what's working and what's not; and what you want to see next. Having recently asked about an interim membership tier, I was bowled over by an overwhelming 'YES' response.
So, we've created something called Geegeez Lite, which includes all of our most popular and easiest-to-use features across the racecards, reports and form tools. Later today, or perhaps tomorrow, I'll share exactly what's included for Lite members, as well as pricing info.
This will be available from tomorrow morning onwards and, to celebrate its launch, I'm making what I hope is a very accessible offer. So if Geegeez Gold is a bit much for you, either in cost or feature terms, Geegeez Lite might be just the ticket.
Look out for more details later today, and a fantastic launch offer tomorrow morning.

You have just moved the goalposts Matt. Well done.
Great stuff – the availability of race replays is a great addition, thanks!
Brilliant additions Matt.
It’s a fantastic site even before these additions. Been a member for 18 months or so now and and am just beginning to understand how powerful some of the tools in my possession are. The new additions will only make them more so!
Hi Matt,
Well done for these up dates. To me they make all the difference. I am a visual sort of bloke and the information found within can be a gold mine for when race recorders fail to notice things. Brilliant!

This is fantastic news, 2 excellent features that I have been relying on other sites for. A minor gripe I have is the limit of form lines on the drop down, personally I would love 2 years when you click on the form icon. I think I remember you mentioning something about in running prices is on the pipeline. Would love to see the history of each horses in running prices. Also for jockeys, as I did very well laying Grace Mcentee at low odds in running a few years ago when she was a novice, bless her.
Awesome !!
