As we spotlight women making waves behind the scenes, we are thrilled to celebrate horse racing trailblazer Lindsay Schanzer! 🐎 📺 Lindsay has shattered glass ceilings in the high-pressure world of sports broadcasting. A University of Notre Dame alumna, she is a seven-time Sports Emmy winner and the first woman senior producer of the Kentucky Derby telecast. Her stellar work on the 148th Derby even earned her a prestigious Gracie Award! As the Senior Producer for NBC Sports Group's horse racing division, she also pilots the broadcasts for the Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes, Breeders' Cup, and Royal Ascot. She is the maestro, making fans at home feel like they are standing right at the finish line. Her incredible resume also spans: • B1G College Countdown (Big Ten Football) • 8 Olympic Games & 1 Super Bowl • Wimbledon, Roland Garros, & Premier League soccer Lindsay is celebrated for her incredible calm under pressure, easily navigating live track audibles and weather delays. She focuses on making the sport accessible to everyone—balancing technical depth for "horse people" with an open invitation to casual viewers. Lindsay is living proof that you can take a legendary path and completely make it your own. Join us in celebrating our horse racing hero! 🏆 #WomenInSports #PreaknessStakes #WomenInRacing #SportsBroadcasting #BelmontStakes #BreedersCup

Whenever we asked our Mom where she wanted to go on Mother's Day, the answer was Hollywood Park.

Today would’ve been my dad’s birthday. This time last year, he turned 95, was in hospice, and died on April 18. He would’ve been so proud of Ethan as he plans to attend U of Oregon for broadcasting, same school my dad got his masters in journalism. I could really use his wisdom!

Heart of every TV Presentation is Production Crew. For as long as I’ve been traveling to @TheNYRA Mitch Levitas has been a constant & steadying leader in Director’s Chair. I needed that this Week with my debut on America’s Day at the Races @FOXSports Above all, I needed all of YOU ! Whether reaching out with kind wishes on this platform or finding me in-person, innumerable people helped me steady my nerves and get back to what I love doing. Most humbling, so many of you took the time to watch. I hope you enjoyed the programming this Week, I know I was honored and energized being a part of this Team. Headed back to California tonight, but looking forward to ‘Running It Back’ Thursday here in NYC with Turf Racing returning to New York for the Season. Endless gratitude, Thank You 🤓

I have such great respect for @ToddTTV . He is passionate about the sport and a classic wordsmith!! His departure left a huge void and @TheNYRA stepped in as the beneficiary to fill that void. Kudos to them! I’ve found the TV product NYRA and @FOXSports puts out to be top-notch!

This is a fun memory…Joe Pesci had a lovely, massive filly named Pesci. She was talented, too. He was the nicest guy and very willing to have a chat or give an interview. Pesci (the horse) flew to @GulfstreamPark and my Dalmatian, Duke, was on the plane with her. #joepesci

What an incredibly thoughtful and beautiful young girl. She will be a knockout with a very keen sense of awareness when she grows up!! Not posting this for religious reasons, I just love her sense of self and unapologetic reasoning. We could all use a bit more of that!!

The daughter of actor James Van Der Beek shares a message for her dad’s birthday on her mother’s Instagram account. Van Der Beek passed away last month following a battle with cancer. “Emilia asked me if she could make a video to post today, walked outside and came back with this,” Kimberly Van Der Beek shared. “I talk to my dad everyday…” Emilia started as she shared how she was dealing with grief.

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

“I hope I've demonstrated that you can face anything, you can face the end of your days, you can face hell with dignity. Fight, girls, and hold your heads high.

NYRA Ready to Implement New Restrictions on CAW Play This is a start. It’s terrible to bet a horse at 6-1, have it drop to 9/2 on the load, and suddenly they’re heavily favored when they cross the wire. Bad for perception, gamblers, and tournament players thoroughbreddailynews.com/nyra-ready-to-…
