Chad Johnson of Bengals to race vs Horse
Posted on Saturday, June 2nd, 2007
Chad Johnson to race horse at River Downs
Twenty-four years after Cris Collinsworth first raced a horse, another high-profile Cincinnati Bengals (NFL Football) wide receiver will take on the challenge.
For the benefit of his favorite charity, “Feed The Children,” Chad Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals will race a horse on June 9, River Downs officials said Wednesday. The race, billed as “Man vs. Beast,” will be the feature race of the day at River Downs and simulcast to more than 400 horse betting outlets across the country and in South America.
River Downs Track officials said the race will take place on the turf course.
The horse, a 4-year-old colt named Restore the Road trained by Ivan Vasquez and owned by Patricia Genn, will break from the inside at the eighth pole. Johnson will break from the outside rail going 1/16th of a mile (110 yards).
River Downs will have a silent auction during the day featuring Chad Johnson autographed items. There will also be other sports-related items to bid on.
Collinsworth lost a 1983 match race to Mr. Hurry at Turfway Park, then known as Latonia Race Course. Ten years later, Collinsworth repeated the stunt at River Downs and lost by a nose to Sir Trace.
