Chad Johnson beat the race horse "Restore the Roar" in a race at Cincinnati's River Downs race track today. From the Bengals official site:

Chad Johnson stunned the world Saturday when he beat a four year old thoroughbread at River Downs by a dozen lengths. Johnson, who ran 110 yards compared to Restore The Roar's 220, said the Bengals are going to go to the Super Bowl now and do what the Colts did last year.

Chad also said that this is just the first of several wild things he will do for charity [this was for the Feed The Children foundation]. He said on ESPNews that he wants to set up a sparring match with Floyd Mayweather and a one-on-one match with Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, both being for charity.

You can watch the race and listen to Ocho Cinco's comments here.

You know that horse was doped (Beta Blockers) whilst Chad had corticosteroids and meth amphetamines in his bloodstream.

Doping always masks honest results.

I assume that both the horse and Chad use steroids and eGH/hGH.

let's see.....Chad races a horse for charity and gets all kinds of silly accusations and names thrown his way, yet thugs like Michael Vick and Joey Porter are what..."keeping it real?" Chad has more class in his little finger than those other punks combined.

Chad is just another steroid doper!

Why not donate porn revenues to the Red Cross?

Morality and cash flows don't seem to matter anymore.

Or abuse Cancer blood boosting drugs (cow blood, HBOCs, EPO, transfusions) to win a bike race.

Class is whatever ESPN/Disney sells the public!

It's hard for someone outside Cincinnati to understand what differentiates Chad from so many other loud types. But if you see him enough, you realize the difference, and understand what makes him fun instead of overbearing.

Chad is an entertainer. He did it for charity. Get off his case.

Weaksauce that he got such an edge in running a short distance. Big deal, I can beat a cheetah in a race if I only run 50 yards and it runs 200. What's the point in "racing" a horse if you don't actually race it?

I agree with #10.Put 'em both in the starting gate,ring the bell and see who crosses the finish line first. Now that's a race.

Wait...so Chad can outrun a horse...but he can't get open against the Steelers secondary? I'm confused...

Seriously, though, I agree with #5 and #6. There are far worse things he can be doing than "racing" horses for charity. It's funny, it's goofy, that's what it's supposed to be. He only wants his teammates on the field to take him seriously, and if you just look at it like that, you'll see he's just a clown. Did you see him in that NFL All-Star Challenge thing last year? Hilarious! Worst baseball swing ever, and he was still talkin' smack!

OK. This is how Cincy tries to clean up its bad boy rep? I imagine that the horse would've been shot if it hadn't won the "race."

This is for all of you Chad haters. He's one of the fastest wides in the league and one of the best too. And he was doing it for charity, I mean be happy that he wasn't doing it for himself.
