How It Works
The VIP Experience
Horse racing is a game of nuance — breeding, track biases, intent, pace, class shifts, form cycles, and the little clues that matter far more than the morning line. Most horseplayers never get the chance to learn these deeper layers of the game.
Exclusive by Design
We’re capping the number of members who can join to maintain quality, protect the pools, and ensure everyone gets real value.
A country-club feel — but for horseplayers
A focused, high-end space where members connect, learn, ask questions, and grow—without the noise of public groups.
Welcoming for all experience levels
Whether you're experienced or just getting started, VIP meets you where you are. Learn at your own pace with support from Duke and the community.
