Winning Ponies

The Walter Cronkite of racing on the air is Todd Schrupp. He has been riding the waves for over 20 years now on TVG and has refined his craft as he grew with this once fledgling network. We will talk to him about the life that led to racing and the growth of the talent and racing coverage on TVG. You may have heard Andy Furman as a national sports talk host on FOX Radio. He’s been compared to the promotions man Bill Veek or P.T. Barnum bringing the circus to a track near you. We’ll explore the many unique promotions Andy put on at the various tracks – Chris Collinsworth racing a horse at Latonia; Polish Night at Buffalo Raceway, a coffin giveaway when the National Funeral Directors. John and Andy have been friends since his Latonia years and through his successful radio years. Andy had the most popular sports talk show on the Nation's Station 700-WLW in Cincinnati and brought on a young retired football player as a co-host to teach him the ropes of racing - Chris Collinsworth.
