Chad Johnson’s trash talk won’t work on his next opponent.

As part of a charity promotion, the Cincinnati Bengals receiver has agreed to race a horse at a track next weekend. He’s not running against Mr. Ed, so his gift for in-your-face gab won’t help.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Johnson said Friday, after the first day of minicamp. “It’s going to be fun. Some of the things I’m going to be doing this year are crazy, and racing a horse is one of them.”

A 4-year-old colt named Restore the Road will race Johnson on the turf at Cincinnati’s River Downs on June 9. The horse will run 1/8th of a mile, while Johnson covers half that distance
