dont waste your time looking for it, it was a farce, total mockery of racing, I'm a Conan fan for his comedy this had none...

This x100.
There would have been much more humor if he took a serious stab at it and peppered out some jokes sparingly.
Chuy Bravo could have done better.

Used a fake British accent, said all the horses looked the same, called a wrong horse into the stretch, etc. Was a disservice to anyone who wagered money on the race.

Hmm.. he must be really trying to promote his brand. has it been falling down in ratings? Recently he also joined and posted on LinkedIn for the first time.. (as an influencer), in a sense, to mock that concept .... There were mixed reviews on that.

Now I want to hear it.
It was race 2.
Was actually somewhat funny if you like his brand of humor.
I don't know if you guys expected him to give a serious race call or what...

There are few things more annoying than the guest racecaller.
But just a few.

I haven't heard it yet, but when I saw it publicized on Bloodhorse earlier this week, I figured he'd use his favorite old-time carnival barker/ 1920s gangster accent

Here was the behind the scenes prep:
Denman: "If the horse is far in front, say they'd have to sprout wings to catch him."
O'Brien: "What if the finish is close?"
Denman: "Wings are out. Fajitas are in."
Don't knock it. When he plays this on his show and his 19 viewers hear him praise the track and how beautiful it was and what a fun day he had, maybe one of them will actually stop and watch some racing coverage as they flip through to find college football.

Conan was recently renewed for 3 more years so I'm sure TBS and the sponsors are happy with how many people are watching.
