Todd Schrupp

We had the pleasure to interview Todd Schrupp with TVG and got to learn his story and his journey with TVG. We also breakdown his fight with Jerry "The King" Lawler.

His constant ribbing of Simon Bray, after he was picking a lot of losers, got under my skin. Every time he came on he would say how pathetic Simon's handicapping was-it became very tiresome

Agree! His abrasive style is a turnoff to me. Thank goodness for the mute button.

As long as the ads are running & people are watching, he gets paid.

Win/Win.

Simon is one of the good guys. I remember the scene with Frank Miramahdi. There was a horse that Frank thought was a lock, turned out that it wasn't. Mike Joyce got so insulting after the race that Frank got up and left. I suppose that ended his time with TVG.

I stole that line from td thortons book about suffolk downs. He handled PR & found a handwritten note in the suggestion box that said that.

“We need more profanity because it makes racing better”

Whoever the producer is for TVG or at least this video should get an A+
Lots of hard work behind the scenes and is one of the best I ever seen

Frank M walking off the TVG set was in response to Greg Wolf, not Mike Joyce.

Video of the incident here:



Hard to believe that was 10 years ago. I still laugh about it to this day.
