Lounging with pals in the lobby of a swanky WeHo hotel, animal lover/activist ELLEN DEGENERES overheard a loudmouth braying about winning big buck$$ on “the nags” at the races – and she was instantly off to the races herself, jabbing the blowhard with verbal spurs!
Said My SpyWitness: “Ellen abhors racetracks – she feels the horses are mistreated – so she spoke right up to this large, red-faced fellow, saying racing the animals is disgusting! Highly indignant at being confronted, the guy snarled that Ellen should ‘get off your high horse!’ He said he’d once worked at a track, and they’d treated the horses extremely well.
