The turn of the year can’t come quick enough for The Shortlist, with six well backed favourites on Monday’s list, and all of them beaten. That a number of them were returned much shorter than the prices nominated underlines the value edge we have, but – seriously – six beaten favourites?! That’s too bad. Tuesday […]

2013 Welsh Grand National Preview Tips Trends It’s the Coral Welsh Grand National on Saturday, and twenty horses and riders are set to face the tapes. The trip is three miles, five and a half furlongs, and the going is heavy, so it’s sure to be a serious test of stamina. Let’s start by looking […]
The Paparazzi Kid was a nice winner yesterday, nominated at 9/1, amongst a few less spectacular performers. To Friday… Today’s racecards are here. 1.10 Lei – Belle de Fontenay – 11/2 Betfred 1.35 Lim – Whiskey And Rye e/w – 12/1 Hills 2.35 Lim – Speckled Wood e/w – 8/1 PP 3.00 Sou – Izzy […]
Racing is back after a few days off and I hope it was fun for you. There is a LOT of racing today…! Boxing Day’s The Shortlist runners are here… Today’s racecards are here. 12.10 Sed – Heath Hunter – 13/8 Skybet 1.25 Kem – Thunderstorm – 9/1 BetVictor 1.30 Down R – Salsify – […]
King George VI Chase Preview Tips Boxing Day’s traditional flagship meeting amongst the ten scheduled for UK is at Kempton, where the King George VI Chase takes centre stage. As well as a cracking renewal of that affair, there’s a heavyweight head-to-head in the Christmas Hurdle, a potentially tip top novice in the opener, and […]
It’s Christmas, dear reader, and it will soon be the turn of the year. So, in the spirit of the season and as a form of retrospective, below are the most popular geegeez posts of 2013… plus a bit of an ‘old but gold’ addendum, sure to illuminate a dull day over the holiday season. […]
Double Dutch, 22nd December 2013 A nice 15.5/1 double on Saturday, and indeed a pair of 1-2’s with the other selections both bagging silver. Let’s see if we can repeat the feat on Sunday, as we head into the Christmas break. (Chris will be back on Boxing Day, but there’s no racing between Monday and […]
Stat of the Day, 22nd December 2013 The curse of the wrong one reared its ugly head on Saturday, as our boy Gatewood was nutted by stablemate, Dick Doughtywylie, franking the stat (John Gosden’s form) but kicking us in the fleshies. And at Christmas, as well. We can take solace from our 11/4 hardening to […]
Those who kept the faith yesterday were rewarded with a tidy 22/1 winner. I did and I was, and the below demonstrates that I put my money where my mouth is, for anyone who maybe wasn’t sure… 😉 Saturday’s The Shortlist runners are here… Today’s racecards are here. 12.40 Newc – Swatow Tycoon – 4/6 […]
Double Dutch, 21st December 2013 Back to winning ways for Chris yesterday, as he signed off for Chrimbo with a 10.4375/1 double, courtesy of Irving and Fortinbrass Yesterday’s results were as follows: Irving: 1st 11/4 Volnay de Thaix: 2nd 4/5 ——————————— Fortinbrass: 1st 85/40 Greenhead High: 4th 2/1 Results to date: 91 winning selections from […]
Stat of the Day, 21st December 2013 Russe Blanc was a never nearer third yesterday, plugging on when others had cried enough, but finishing six lengths behind the winner, Hollins. He was returned at 11/4, so there was a good bit of value in the early 7/2. Chris is away until Boxing Day now, so […]
It’s a barren run just now for this piece, and there’s very little to go at today, either. Still, the below look to be the most promising profile fits according to my reading of the RAR’s. Today’s racecards are here. 1.20 Utt – And The Man – 14/1 SJ 1.50 Utt – Woodford County – […]
Gosh. Or should I say, GOSH? I was truly and sincerely gobsmacked by your kindness in response to Monday’s post. I was hopeful that a few generous souls would comment favourably about geegeez, with a view to showcasing the affection in which the site is held. But I was amazed – no, dumbfounded – by […]
Apologies for late posting. Baby sitter let us down this morning, so I’ve watched about twelve episodes of Peppa Pig but only just had a chance to go through the Shortlist… Today’s racecards are here. 1.20 Exe – Look For Love e/w – 16/1 Coral 1.30 Sou – Yasir – 11/4 BetVictor 2.10 Tow – […]
Nothing to trumpet yesterday from the two picks. Hopefully more of interest today… Today’s racecards are here. 1.50 Lud – Moscow Me – 6/1 Stan James 2.15 Newb – Poungach – 11/2 BetVictor 6.20 Kem – Troopingthecolour e/w – 7/1 Ladbrokes *** The Shortlist is a simple concept: I go through the Race Analysis Reports […]

Well, a fair bit later than planned, I finally got down to Harry Fry’s Seaborough stables today, and the man himself was kind enough to spare an hour to go through his team with me. Headlined by Rock On Ruby, who makes his chasing debut on Monday at Plumpton, below are the details in alphabetical […]
A couple of winners, including a 6/1, and a 16/1 place, yesterday. Today’s racecards are here. 11.55 Don – Fix It Right – 3/1 Skybet 1.00 Don – Princely Player – 11/4 Coral 2.25 Che – Salut Flo – 9/1 bet365 3.00 Che – Zarkandar – 11/4 bet365 3.15 Don – Bears Affair – 4/1 […]
It’s Cheltenham again, so let’s have a crack at the races, including a placepot permutation to kickstart the weekend. 12.30 Cheltenham This looks a match between Oscar Whisky and Wonderful Charm. Oscar Whisky was clearly the better hurdler, but he looked less than fluent in a sketchy fencing debut when beaten by the – granted, […]
For the non-triskaidekaphobic amongst you, The Shortlist is below. Today’s racecards are here. 12.30 Che – Oscar Whisky – 10/11 Betfred 1.20 Ban – Summery Justice – 14/1 BetVictor 2.10 Che – Burton Port e/w – 22/1 BetVictor 2.40 Che – Chicago Grey – 5/1 Skybet 3.35 Sou – Beach Rhythm – 10/3 bet365 7.15 […]
They’re finally here, patient reader, and not before time. I’m talking about tomorrow’s racecards and pace profiles for all UK races. Whilst I’ve had access to them for a good while, for various reasons I’ve been unable to share the info until now. So, what’s new? Well, not a lot, and quite a lot. First, […]

It’s a tough game, this. If you’re good at it, you still lose a lot more often than you win, but the winners pay for the losers. And, if you’re really good, the wins leave a bit in your wallet after the losers are paid for. This weekend was a wagering roller coaster for all […]
I’ve decided to dispense with the ‘also of interest’ list, and just compile one list each day. It will normally be fairly short, though bizarrely (for a Monday), there are plenty of profile types running, especially at Wolverhampton this afternoon. Today’s racecards are here. 2.00 Lin – Polar Kite – 12/1 Coral 3.00 Lin – […]
Double Dutch, 7th December 2013 It was another no score yesterday for Double Dutch and, as Chris is unavailable this morning, I’m stepping in with a couple of Sandown races that look made for the top of the market. Yesterday’s results were as follows: Sylvan Legend: 7th at 2/1 Cuckoo Rock: 6th at 9/1 ——————————— […]
A little later than usual, due to the excesses of yesterday, your Saturday issue of The Shortlist is below. Today’s racecards are here. 1.50 San – Taquin de Seuil – 3/1 PP 2.00 Chep – Quartz de Thaix – 10/1 PP 2.15 Wet – Lexi’s Boy – 5/1 bet365 2.55 Nav – Highdown Hill – […]
It’s competition time again, courtesy of our generous friends at Seanie Mac. This week we’re making it super simple to enter, with nothing as difficult as picking a race winner (which, by the way, nobody managed to do last week!). Nope. All you have to do to win this weekend’s £100 in free bets is […]
Short post today. I blame the nights drawing in. And the boy not sleeping. As a consequence of the latter, I’m up an hour late, and as a consequence of the former, the first race at Sandown – where I’m headed – is slated for 12.35. But there is still a good bit to share. […]
A quiet day on Thursday, but plenty to go at on Friday as the weekend looms large. Today’s racecards are here. 1.20 Lin – Broughtons Charm – 11/2 BetVictor 1.55 Lin – Zaeem e/w – 10/1 PP 2.20 San – Harry Topper – 5/4 Seanie Mac 2.55 San – Merrion Square – 15/2 BetVictor 7.00 […]
Well, we were due a change of luck. Two nice winners, at 5/1 and 11/1, plus places at 14/1 and 10/1 (available early at 33/1!), added a touch of sheen to a poor recent run. Let’s see if we can’t get more of the same tomorrow. Today’s racecards are here. 2.10 Win – Havingotascoobydo – […]

Our 33/1 shot ran all right without ever threatening to make the frame yesterday, and he could be coming into a bit of (moderate) form. More to go at on Wedneday. Today’s racecards are here. 2.30 Lin – Kuanyao – 5/1 PP 4.50 Kem – Hedge End – 11/1 bet365 5.50 Kem – Celtic Charlie […]
No better than second yesterday, so the search for a winner continues… and in truth it’s unlikely to be resolved on Tuesday, where there is almost nothing of interest. Today’s racecards are here. *** My ‘also considered’ list comprises: 2.00 Sed – Hi Dancer e/w – 25/1 bet365 *** The Shortlist is a simple concept: […]
This last week has seen some teething problems. From Newbury to geegeez to a more literal interpretation, this post is dedicated to those teething issues. Let’s start at Newbury, where the sport played support to a logistical miscalculation of some magnitude. In case you didn’t know, last year Newbury Racecourse re-branded itself as The Racecourse, […]
November ended in much the same ignominious fashion as most of the month, and it’s to be hoped that December shows a stronger correlation between those with well-fitting profiles and those that win each day… Today’s racecards are here. 12.55 Wol – Full Speed – 3/1 PP 3.30 Wol – Miss Avonbridge – 4/1 BetVictor […]
More seconds. And, in truth, more losers too. To Saturday, and it’s super competitive. Today’s racecards are here. 12.05 Newc – Green Flag – 4/5 bet365 2.25 Newb – At Fishers Cross – 10/11 Hills 2.30 Fai – Flat Out – 7/1 PP 3.35 Newb – Ulck Du Lin – 10/1 BetVictor 7.50 Wol – […]
Having written about my betting year earlier in the week, and referenced some Cheltenham ante-post action, I thought I’d follow that up by sharing who I’ve backed and why. So far, I’ve only had a handful of bets and, in each case, I’m looking for a horse that has the potential to improve considerably on […]
geegeez has teamed up with Seanie Mac again this weekend to offer readers the chance to win €100 in free bets, courtesy of the Ireland-based betting firm. To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is leave a comment below this post in which you: 1. Predict which horse will win the […]
This is starting to be a bit irritating now. Yesterday’s results were 2nd, 4th, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 2nd. Those seconds included 10/1 (early price) and 16/1 shots. And the 16/1 shot was beaten a head. Maybe Friday will be kinder to us. Today’s racecards are here. 1.30 Newb – Aiteen Thirtythree – 28/1 SkyBet […]
Lots of ‘thereabouts’ efforts yesterday, at all sorts of prices, but little in the way of winners alas. Onwards. Today’s racecards are here. 1.20 Newb – Ballinahow Star – 3/1 PP 1.30 Newb – Andy Kelly – 9/2 PP 6.05 Kem – Sydney James – 7.05 Kem – Foxtrot Jubilee – 14/1 bet365 *** My […]
Three out of three on the ‘also’ list yesterday, and at nice prices too (12/1 early, 7/2 and 4/1 for a 291/1 treble if anyone was clever/lucky enough to do that). The main list continues on the cold side however, and we’ll hope to rectify that with Wednesday’s prospects. Today’s racecards are here. 12.15 Wet […]
A couple of winners on the ‘also’ list yesterday, at 7/2 and 4/1. Here are Tuesday’s Shortlist tempters.

Saturday’s big race, the Betfair Chase, promised to be a thriller. With the Gold Cup winner – plus the third and fourth placed horses from that race – as well as last year’s Betfair Chase champ, the Ryanair winner, the Jewson runner-up, and the Lexus Chase winner, all lining up, it couldn’t fail to disappoint. […]
A miserable day on Saturday for The Shortlist, but I’m hopeful we’ll turn a corner this week as the form starts to settle down. Today’s racecards are here. 2.05 Kem – Jump City – 9/2 888sport 5.00 Wol – Slinky McVelvet – 4/1 888sport *** My ‘also considered’ list comprises: 3.20 Lud – Realta Mo […]
