Tracker / Racecard Options
Tracker Options
You can choose to receive emails to an email address of your choice, relating to any or all of the horses, trainers, jockeys and/or sires that you are tracking. The emails contain this information for racing the next day, or for the next five days, as you specify.
Racecard Options
In the Racecard Options section, users have a number of customization options.
Odds
Users may choose to view odds as either fractional or decimal, or to hide odds completely when viewing the cards
Hide Racecard Content
These days, Gold cards are a busy place. Most users do not use all of the features, so it is possible to hide (or re-display) almost all racecard components from this section.
Full Form
Users may select the number of rows of form to be displayed in the Full Form view of a horse, trainer, jockey, sire or dam.
Proximity Form
This box is checked when users wish to display the traffic light proximity indicator on Full Form, which indicates by how far a horse was beaten in a given race.
Instant Expert
Users may select preferred Instant Expert parameters for date range, race type, race code and displayed rating.
Ratings Display
Users may select up to three ratings to display in Full Form. The options are OR (Official Rating), RP (Racing Post Rating), TS (Topspeed), R1 (a user-generated rating), and UP (our sectional upgrade calculation).
Bet Tracker
Users may define a default stake and whether Best Odds Guaranteed is generally taken for Bet Tracker entries.
Sectional Data
Users may turn on sectional data here, by selecting either Data or Visual rather than the default ‘None’ option in the Display setting.
Further, users may select whether the default display (if not ‘none’) shows three (OMC) or five (Call Points) sectional data points.
Tracker Emails
If a user has elected to receive emails, they will be sent at 7pm the evening before racing. Emails look similar to the image below.
Clicking on the race date/time or meeting will take you to the race card for that entry. Where odds are hyperlinked, clicking on that link will redirect you to the bookmaker offering the best price at the time the email was sent (i.e. 7pm GMT).
Note, if none of your tracked horses, jockeys, trainers or sires have runners in the specified period (next day or next five days), no email will be generated.
If you are expecting an email but do not receive it, you should check your spam or junk folders, and whitelist tracker@data.geegeez.co.uk
My Notes & Ratings
From here, users may download a csv file of any saved notes and/or ratings.
There is also a shortcut to the ‘Ratings Settings’ page, from where users may define the pounds/lengths figures for rating auto-calculation.
And users may opt to ignore the influence of the weight for age scale and/or jockey allowances. (N.B. This is not recommended)
See User Ratings section for more information.
Racecards Home Page
Clicking on racecards from the main menu at geegeez.co.uk or linking directly to http://www.geegeez.co.uk/race-cards/ brings up the day’s racecards. If you are a Gold subscriber, you will also see some additional features, which are explained below.
All race meetings on any given day will be displayed in the following format:
Clicking the icon will expand all meetings to display the races at each; clicking the icon will reduce all to their meeting header blocks. Clicking an individual meeting blue bar will open/close that meeting.
Each race shows the time, race title, age group, distance, class, and number of declared runners. On the right-hand side is a ‘Result’ link which becomes clickable once the full result is available.
In the row displaying the course, there is a link on the right-hand side from which more course information can be acquired. An example is below:
Going Change
Should the going change for any reason, you may amend the going for a race meeting by selecting the revised going from a dropdown box. This revision is replicated throughout the cards and tools, enabling you to review all form in light of the going change, making it a very powerful feature.
Clicking a race time or title redirects you to the selected race.
Compact Race Cards Menu
As well as the original ‘full’ racecard menu displayed above, there is also a ‘compact’ menu. Clicking the ‘compact’ link top right will display this.
As time passes through the day, races in the past are struck out and boxed in grey. The next race will be flashing.
For logged in free subscribers, Races of the Day will be denoted by yellow boxes.
Racecards Menu by Race Time
As of July 2018, users may now sort the day’s races by time.
Racecards Menu Filters
A new feature added in July 2018 is the ability to filter races by a number of variables. Thus a user may see only the races he or she is interested in.
For example, if a user does not bet on all weather racing, and only in races up to 1m2f in distance, and only when there are three each-way places, i.e. eight or more runners, those parameters may be entered and the race list amends accordingly, as per the image below:
The filters can be ‘shown’ or ‘hidden’ and are effective across two of our three displays: full (by meeting) and compact.
Filters cover:
- Race Code [AW, Flat, Hurdle, Chase, NH Flat]
- Country [UK, IE]
- Class [1-7]
- Runners [2-43]
- Distance [5f-4m4f]
- Handicap and/or non-handicaps
‘My Races’
As of February 2022, users may now select races of interest and ‘pin’ them to the top of the racecard screen. To add a race, click the star to the left of the race time. To remove, click the star again either in the main list or the ‘My Races’ section at the top.
Since April 2022, races starred and featuring in ‘My Races’ section also show up in the Race Selector dropdown to allow for simpler race to race navigation.
Race Card Overview
The geegeez racecards use a tabbing system to keep all of the content as accessible as possible in a single page. This saves users from opening multiple tabs/windows and makes the navigation process that much more intuitive and straightforward.
Clicking the Conditions link displays the relevant details for the race in question:
Clicking the Odds radio button toggles odds display off and on. [Note: this also changes your default setting in My Geegeez – the two functions are aligned].
Let’s now take a look at each tab in more detail. There is a large amount of content stored in these cards, so pay attention! 😉
The ‘CARD’ Tab
The default tab is ‘CARD’, a traditional (ish) race card for the selected race. Some features are not visible in mobile portrait mode, but may be viewed either in landscape mode or by selecting your browser’s “View Desktop Site” option.
As you can see, there is a lot of detail in the page. The main column headings are largely as per any other racecard:
# - saddle cloth number
Dr – Stall position for flat races / Form – Recent finishing positions (most recent on the right)
Jockey silks
Horse – Name of horse / Age – Age of horse
Weight – Weight in stones-pounds for today’s race / Trainer – Name of trainer
Jockey – Name of jockey, including any riding allowance
OR – Official Rating of the horse, if rated under today’s race code
RPR – Racing Post Rating / TS – Topspeed Rating
SR – Dr Peter May’s profitable speed ratings are included in this column for all UK races (except NH races from May to August)
Odds – Forecast odds or, when available, best bookmaker odds; or returned starting prices
Beneath the card, any non-runners are listed. And, beneath that, there is a selection and some supporting opinions from the Racing Post commentators.
