Horses: Love 'em or hate 'em!

In honor of this weekend's wonderful -- yet decadent and depraved -- tradition known as the Kentucky Derby, here is a horse racing video that has absolutely nothing to do with the fine people of Kentucky, poseur celebrities in big hats and Access Hollywood.
It stars Alan Partridge, brilliant comic actor Steve Coogan's alter-ego / talk show host / commentator. He was sort of like a British Colbert long before there was ever a Colbert.
Coogan's stateside attempts at breaking through have been mixed (and a bit muddled), but Alan Partridge was a f**kin' legend, so let the legend live on...

"Let's hope that tomfoolery doesn't escalate into blind, ugly violence."
