Every bet Duke makes,
and Duke there to explain it.

Every race day he posts the bets he is making, how much he is putting on each one, the ticket written out, and the races he is skipping. Then he is in the room, between races, to answer what you ask him.

A Race Day in the Room

One of Duke's posts,
exactly as VIPs get it.

Two races at Belmont. Every horse he is on and why, how much he is betting, and the ticket written out line by line. The replies under it are real members, the same day.

Duke posts like this every race day, on every track he is playing.

Take Your Seat

A reason for every horse

Never a bare list of names. You see why he likes each one, which is the part you can actually learn from.

The whole ticket, sized

The key, the exacta box, the double, and how many units on each. How the bet is built, not just who to bet.

What he does not like, too

"Now or never for him, don't like the draw." The problem with a horse sits right beside the reason to play it.

What you get as a VIP

Duke's whole game,
open to you every race day.

i.  Elite racing community

The room

Everyday horseplayers working the same cards as you, all day long. Live Zoom sessions where Duke handicaps a card with the group and you bring your own questions. Every livestream we run for the big days, included.

ii.  Proprietary analysis

Duke's analysis on every card he plays

The horses he is on and the reason for each, how much he is betting, the ticket written out, the favorites he thinks can be beaten, and the races he is skipping. On every track he is playing, every race day.

iii.  Exclusive intel

Duke, one message away

Ask him about any race, any horse, or your own ticket, and he answers between races. Plus his Bet Back list and watch list: the horses he is waiting on next time out, with his notes on each.

Also included

Duke's Tools

A watch list that emails you the morning your horse runs, a ticket builder that keeps to your budget, and dutching and break-even math. VIPs follow Duke's own watch list too.

What our members are saying.

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.
