A Race Day in the Room
Two races at Belmont. Every horse he is on, the reason for each one, how much he is betting, and the ticket written out line by line.
Bel 7th and 8th
7th
(1 unit play)
7 SPECIAL OPS rough start at Del in last, old races makes him a winner in here
9 CHIPS AND FISH turf to dirt cut-back here, should come running late
6 SUPREME GOOD 2yo race at BAQ in Sept makes him a major player here
8th
(2 unit play)
10 MAGNANIMOUS MAX against the bias Jul 3rd, working well for this, love the draw here
7 FREDDIE B ran 2nd to Stimulate, should fit well here
1 CHIEF WALLABEE adds Lasix here back vs Allow company, now or never for him, don't like the draw
2 GULFY adds Lasix and has a B+ work, has shot
Duke posts like this every race day, on every track he is playing.
Take Your SeatSpecial Ops had a rough start at Del Mar last out. Chips and Fish is switching from turf to dirt and cutting back. You are never handed a bare list of names, you are shown the thinking behind each one, which is the only part of this you can actually learn from.
Key 7/69. A 679 exacta box. A daily double carried into the next race, with a bigger bet on one combination and a smaller one on another. That is how the bet is actually built, and it is the part a horse name on its own can never tell you. He marks the size of each play too, so you can see how strongly he feels.
Look at Chief Wallabee: "now or never for him, don't like the draw." Duke puts the problem with a horse right beside the reason to play it. You are getting his honest read, not a sales pitch, and in the room you can argue with any of it.
What you get as a VIP member
His plays on every card he is on, how he structures them, and thirty years of thinking behind both. Ask him anything, any race, any day. He answers.
Live Zoom sessions where he works the cards with the group. A room of serious players on the same races all day. Every livestream we run, included.
A watch list that emails you the morning your horse runs. A ticket builder that holds your budget. Dutching and break-even math. Plus his full course library on bankroll, structure and reading a track.
Included with every membership
Built for the work every horseplayer used to do on paper. They run on your phone and your computer, and there is nothing to install.
Watch List
Add a horse, a trainer, a jockey or an owner. The morning one of them runs, it is on your list with the track, the race, the post time and the morning line, and in your inbox at 7am if you want it there. Members' Room VIPs also follow Duke's own list, updated as he works.

From the Community
This was my first time ever paying for a service of a professional handicapper. So glad I did it. I thoroughly enjoyed your live session. And was very impressed with your knowledge and picks.

Steve Byk and Ken on how Duke's livestream helped him finish 2nd in the 2025 Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge.
Duke has created a welcoming, helpful community of like-minded horseplayers. You can ask for professional advice on ticket structure, bounce ideas off other players about a potential handicapping angle and laugh about bad beat stories all in the same place. In my opinion the picks are secondary.

Questions
The Clubhouse is a free community where horseplayers talk through cards together, and Duke isn't actively posting there. Featured Track is paid access to a private channel inside the Clubhouse where Duke shares his plays and his analysis of one meet each month. The Members' Room is the full VIP community where Duke is active every day: his plays, his notes, his Bet Back list, the Zoom sessions, the livestreams, the courses, the conversation.
The free Clubhouse is for horseplayers to talk together, and Duke isn't posting there. Featured Track members get a private channel inside the Clubhouse where Duke does post. If you want Duke active alongside you, the Members' Room is where you sit down with him.
His work on the cards he is playing. The horses and the reason behind each one, the wager he is making and at what unit size, how the ticket is structured, the favorites he thinks are beatable, and the races he is passing. Some days that is a full card. Some days it is two races worth playing and he says so. Either way you see what he is doing with his own money, and you can ask him why.
Live group handicapping on Zoom. Duke walks the late California card with the community and reads into the weekend together, and members drive the conversation: a horse, a sequence, your own ticket. It's one of the best seats in the house.
Right now you can access the Essentials (mindset, bankroll, ticket design), Workout Reads (what to look for in workout video), and a free Beginners track. More are added over time, and the library keeps growing.
We usually run at least one livestream a month, depending on the racing schedule. Some months it's two or three. During slow stretches with no big stakes, we might miss one or two. The Zoom sessions still happen in between, and Members' Room VIPs get every livestream included.
