Kimmel went into stark detail about how and why Palmer […]

In case you don’t pay too much attention to American politics, oddball multi-millionaire Donald Trump seems poised to win the Republican Party’s nomination for Presidential candidacy.

What do you get when you cross stags with horses? Bruises. Lots of bruises. Robbie Martin and his pals decided a day at the races would make the ideal stag do. What’s not to like?
