Even if you only follow horse racing for the Triple Crown, you’ll get a laugh from this gag.

Video of Conan O’Brien’s horse skit OR if the TV Network in Question throws a fit and takes it down, you might be able to see it here on the My Seattle Pets blog. And this version posted on a Chicago Sun-Times blog is on the more-approved Hulu.

Mine That Bird is a bay, not a chestnut.  Check his page at the NTRA. Here’s a link to his old stall cam at Santa Anita Park.

(FWIW, the image up there now is a still frame, because, as of this writing, Mine That Bird has vacationing in New Mexico since the Breeders Cup.)

Plus, those green and white silks in the skit aren’t even close to the Double Eagle Ranch silks.

All of which makes the segment even funnier. At least, I think it does. What do you think? Feel free to weigh in on the comments below.

Besides, I just love the “stunt horse” nosing at everyone’s pockets for treats. :)
