Default Conan: Triumph covers the Belmont

I don't know if any of you ever watch Conan O'Brien or have ever seen his character Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. I think Triumph is usually pretty funny but sometimes he goes a little too far. I think he was a little over the top in his Belmont Stakes coverage. Some of the stuff was funny but I thought that a lot of it was in pretty bad taste. You guys can decide for yourselves. If you are easily offended, you probably shouldn't watch it.

Wow, that's actually pretty funny!

Who'd have thunk it. The Alydar crack though was a bit low.

I thought that was funny. I wouldn't take those sorts of things too seriously.

Got to watch Triumph at work almost the entire day... Have to admit it was very cool to see it being made. Baffert was THRILLED to be asked to do it.

Surprisingly, Mitch, (the comic behind Triumph), actually has extensive script/notes that he works from as he does the 'interviews'... The one-liners are not as 'off the cuff' as you might expect.
