On the Rise: Elizabeth Talamo
Elizabeth Talamo always desired to be a storyteller. The backdrop for those stories began organically, while growing up as the daughter of trainer Ron Ellis, a mainstay on the Southern California racing circuit. Luckily for Talamo, there is no shortage of stories to be told in the racing industry. Her eagerness to shape and share those stories was rewarded early on, with an internship at TVG — later known as FanDuel TV — when she was still in high school.
