Honestly? I still hate this whenever it's done. Feel bad for the connections of the winner... you know?

I think it's great. He'll be funny, the winner might get to meet him and take a picture (assuming he comes down to the winner's circle for something like this). It's a $32,000 claimer for fillies and mares 3 & up. Nobody's gonna be wearing Goldophin blue or anything. Like the winner's gonna be there thinking that the occasion was so darn solemn before Conan got involved. Maybe they're trying to lose the horse in the first place.
