@ginpow3v @BloodHorse I'm still very upset over this, it's breaking my heart! 💔💔💔💔 I've been following Potente since the beginning of the year & all of a sudden he went missing! This definitely stinks, something isn't right!

@ToddTTV @TheNYRA @FOXSports Amazing job on America's Day at The Races, safe travels back to California!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏇🏼

[Todd Schrupp @ToddTTV]

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 🤓

@ToddTVG @KentuckyDerby @ronflatter I already miss seeing you, TVG will always be near and dear to my heart! ❤️🏇🏼 I'm definitely looking forward to your next chapter Todd!

[Todd Schrupp @ToddTTV]

I hadn’t planned on posting anything on Social Media until @KentuckyDerby Week, but Two things brought me out of hibernation for a Day; the announcement of TVG/FDTV phasing out, and a call from @ronflatter I’ve always admired Ron’s work and I was especially moved by what he wrote about TVG’s impact, and the challenges moving ahead for Horse Racing with its impending extinction. In other words, Ron was on a shortlist of people I would say ‘yes’ to.

Ultimately my conversation with him on his Podcast was cathartic for me. He gave me the chance to not just talk about the finality of TVG/FDTV, he graciously let me recount some of the seminal moments along my nearly 27 years there.

And that is what I believe strongly about this much discussed topic in our Sport, the end of TVG/FDTV, the History of it can be a roadmap to the Future. Through the stops and starts, triumphs and setbacks, the First Network dedicated solely to Horse Racing, and the Third channel into the niche Space of Networks dedicated to one Sport - after the Golf Channel & Tennis Channel - TVG made History for a Sport that has as rich a history as any. Everything is of its time, in the case of TVG it was ahead of its time, but eventually that advantage can fade and here we are.

As you can tell, I could talk endlessly on the topic that has been most of my Life to this point, and Ron was kind enough to give me lots of runway. However, I hope what comes across as you listen is that an ending does not define the totality of the Journey. It may be the last step, but it’s one of many. I’m immeasurably thankful for every step, especially the first one. Whether good times or bad, I’m always humbled by the connection we made with our audience. I’m heartened by the public conversations that have taken place over the last week because in all ways it led back to the importance of what TVG was, and in a way not only reminded everyone of the Legacy, but celebrated it too.

For me, and I believe for Horse Racing, it’s now time to move on together and create something even more exciting. There are already some inspiring ideas being put forth. As a Minnesota Native I’ll conclude this reflection with a line from one of the greatest MN Poets of all-time:
“They say everything can be replaced
They say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every person who put me here…” - Bob Dylan
