Special thanks to @Godfather1NFBC @Quahogz @KenMagner55 @DSemsel @Glenneration_X @BronxYankees23 @JasonSanteiu @booms62 @bdentrek . Some of which I’ve know for 17 years doing this and some I’ve just met. Many others not on X, like Lindy, etc. I appreciate you reaching out

I wanted to thank the @TheReal_NFC community for your support these past 2 weeks. Many know I’m dealing with the sudden loss of my beautiful wife Traci and hearing your encouraging words have meant a lot to me. @GregAmbrosius and @TomKessenich certainly foster a family atmosphere

@NTRA @Hinesite Congrats to Dylan - a deserving Champ! Dan Piazza, back to back Top 10's ..... Had an incredible time at the Horse Shoe - fantastic hosts & no better "Room" for the Horseplayer! 🐎🐎

Congratulations to Dylan Donnelly!! NHC2026 Champion by $0.84! 🏆

@ToddTVG Thank You Todd, for all your years. I was fortunate to meet you at Delmar after your short break last fall. I'm a retired Police Officer from Bayonne, NJ - you thanked ME for my service. I feel you are Family. You are truly missed on air. I hope to see you again, listen again! 🐎

3 Weeks ago today it was announced I was no longer with FanDuelTV. For practical reasons and quite honestly, emotional ones, I stayed off Social Media since then. However, during that time friends would forward me some of the incredibly kind posts so many of you made. I’ve now had a chance to look through all of them, and I’m humbled and grateful to my core. Also, many of you ‘slid into my DMs’, each of you will be getting a response from me. Thank You. When you give 26 years and 8 months to something, it is heartening to know that dedication was appreciated by those you worked alongside and those who watched and listened. My greatest reward has always been the immensely talented people I’ve been privileged to work with and the viewers I’ve been able to connect with. In a Sport that leans heavily into stats, Two significant numbers for me during my time at TVG/FanDuelTV are: *1,022,434 Miles Flown *2,112 Hotel Stays When you fly enough miles to circumnavigate the World 41 times, spend nearly six years in Hotel Room stays, not to mention the countless miles driven; all in pursuit of Broadcasting the amazing Sport of Horse Racing, you can’t do it without the Love, Support and sacrifice of your Family and Friends. It is why I understand as John Mellencamp once wrote: “My Family and Friends are the best thing I’ve known, through the eye of a needle I’ll carry them Home…” And through all the travels and the Broadcasts, an amazing blessing happened; I got to meet many of you, the TVG viewers. This has given me more friends than I could ever imagine. On-air you’ve learned some of my Life’s Story and when I met you in-person I was privileged to learn yours. The viewer has always been my North Star, and making a connection with you through all the Broadcasts or in-person has been the reward of a Lifetime. It is that connection that will never go away, it will always be. I never liked to look back at a Broadcast I was on and critique how I felt about it. To me, that was always up to the Viewer. There have been innumerable moments we have shared together, but there are Two I’m asked about the most: One, wrestling Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler. (Which is a phenomenal behind the scenes story I’ll tell one day.) Two, is my Closing Words for the Final Day of Racing at Hollywood Park. Whenever I was given the responsibility to do a Close to a show, there was never a script, it was ideas I’d write and then try and present in a way all the shows I worked on would be; a conversation with you. In other words, I always got to speak from the Heart. I speak from the Heart now when I tell you how grateful I am for all the years I’ve had a platform to speak with you on TVG. In lieu of an on-air Goodbye, I believe that day at Hollywood Park covers all the sentiments I feel now and about this ending. (I’ve attached it to this post.) With one caveat, this is not goodbye forever, it is goodbye for now. I’m going to take a short break from Social Media, but I will re-join the conversation about the World of Horse Racing which has been my Community since I was a teenager, in short order. To that point, my next on-air appearance will be with my Broadcast Family @LEX18News for KY Oaks and @KentuckyDerby a role I’ve enjoyed for 18 years. Beyond that, we’ll see. Most importantly, our connection will endure. And for all you have given me, I can only hope I’ve been worthy of your time. In the end time is our greatest Gift and my time at TVG has left me with nothing but immense gratitude - Todd T. Schrupp

One of the promising 2yo fillies from last year returns Saturday at Los Alamitos in R6. Shiny New drew post 5 for her first start since June of 2025. I assume her immediate target will be the GI Los Al Oaks Trials on March 8. I liked her workout on 1/17. She looks ready.

@AG_Jacobs91 @FanDuel_Racing @ToddTVG @FanDuelTV @jose93_ortiz @BreedersCup @ChristinaFDTV @AronWellman7 @EclipseTBP @JoeTalamo Sorry, I disagree

@KenMagner55 @FanDuel_Racing @ToddTVG @FanDuelTV @jose93_ortiz @BreedersCup @ChristinaFDTV @AronWellman7 @EclipseTBP @JoeTalamo No, and it’s a bush move.

🚨 Breaking News on @FanDuelTV. JOURNALISM will be ridden by @jose93_ortiz in the @BreedersCup Classic. @ToddTVG is with @ChristinaFDTV who confirmed the news with @AronWellman7 of @EclipseTBP. Jockey @JoeTalamo weighs in with his thoughts from a rider's perspective.

@Jeff_Erickson Thank Goodness for the Diva QB, AR - Whining and crying at his teammates at every turn. Never his fault! That aside / Joe Flacco getting the ball 🏈 out quickly & FINALLY over using his two best weapons ( a good thing ) made for a fun watch. Tomlin whining about the Trade! 😂

The Bengals pass rush without Trey Hendrickson is a sundial. At night.

@SwiftHitter @KeenelandJim Soon as I saw the payout - shook my head. Slap in the face for the few that were lucky enough to have punched that EX
