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.

1. He was not funny
2. He was not accurate

1+2 = horrible

it was stupid and not funny, I thought he would actually try to do a good job of it not just make a mockery out of the whole thing

Some of his old shows were. Pretty wild...felt like he was edgy and something different...havent followed him in years now...though this was a bad call and not funny...he obviously had some time to prep for this all of 2 mins performance...surely doesn't show...looked like he just showed up called the race and left...doesnt care about the sport nor his act...came off the a prick
