Conan calling Friday 2nd at Santa Anita..
CONAN O’BRIEN TO PINCH HIT FOR TREVOR DENMAN ON FRIDAY
Trevor Denman will get a rare time-out on Friday. Late night funny man Conan O’Brien, who hosts CONAN weeknights at 11 p.m. on TBS, will step up to the Santa Anita microphone and call Friday’s second race under the watchful eye of America’s premier race caller. “I think it’s great,” said Denman, who has been calling races at Santa Anita since the fall of 1983. “Conan is universally well-known and well-liked and this is a great way for us to help get the word out on the Breeders’ Cup and live racing here at Santa Anita. He’s a great talent and my advice is always the same—keep it simple and try and have fun with it.” Announcing styles aside, O’Brien, with high-hair and a 6’ 4” frame, will strike a notable contrast to Denman, who originally aspired to be a jockey in his native South Africa. And Awaaay They Go . . .
