Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther is an avid horse player and doesn’t mind relating some of the stories to his group to drive home some points.
There was the tape he showed them of some poor horse jumping over the shadow of the spire on the race track.
“The point is,’ Guenther says, “forget the distractions. Keep running.”
And for instance, he just returned from Saratoga Springs this past weekend and placed on his office wall the iconic picture of Secretariat hitting the Belmont finish while jockey Ron Turcotte snuck a peak back at his 31-length victory.
