Not only does he talk about his exit, but Schrupp also discusses last week's announcement that FDTV will go out of existence by the end of next year. Super Screener creator Mike Shutty handicaps weekend stakes at Aqueduct and Keeneland, and he talks about the Blue Grass (G1), the Santa Anita Derby (G1) and the Wood Memorial (G2), the races that will shape the field for the Kentucky Derby. Co-hosts John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times and Keith Nelson of Fairmount Park have their popular host chat, and listener and reader feedback zeroes in on the closing of FDTV. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.","meta_description":"For the first time since he left FanDuel TV in February, racing host and analyst Todd Schrupp breaks his silence, and the last of the major preps for Kent…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":6707,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-ron-flatter-racing-pod-1127686/episodes/s9e25-schrupp-speaks/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ron-flatter-racing-pod-1127686/s9e25-schrupp-speaks.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
