so a ton of people have been asking on X where he is. He doesn't respond but gives a ♥.

There is a rumor on X but because its a rumor it has just as much chance no being true, as being true. They said he got into it with a producer or management and he is suspended or getting fired. Whatever it is, it appears he isn't allowed to talk about it.

Nobody and I mean nobody in the talking head business did more to make money for his company than Mr. Shrupp.

Ohh sure, I understand not liking the hawking, the constant barrage of promoting the pick fours, send in the money etc.

But that's his job and over 20 years he helped make TVG #1 in revenue, like it not.
I've found it easier to tear up tickets at 8/1 instead of 8/5.

I'm with you. Granted I may be a bit biased as we're friends, but I think he does a great job. I hope things work out.

Andy, will your NYRA crew be covering the Churchill races at all?
I miss being able to hear what your expert (and very entertaining) group of analysts provides us.

Yep, people need to start understanding the game and stop hating the Playa’. Is Schrupp akin to a carnival barker? Sure but that’s what he’s paid to do.

I do look forward to your commentary when you return to Belmont@theBigA this Friday. Should be good racing.

They don't say what happened, they refuse to actually, but he is returning this week.

I kinda liked the explanation Todd posted on X that he was appreciative his employer let him have time off to do some charity events and then he was spotted in NY doing exactly that.
