NFL Star Travis Kelce Gallops into Horse Racing with Sassy Songstress-Inspired Steed

**Travis Kelce Buys into Racehorse with Taylor Swift-Inspired Name**

NFL superstar Travis Kelce has expanded his interests to the world of horse racing, purchasing a stake in a three-year-old gelding named Swift Delivery. The horse’s name is a tribute to Kelce’s pop star girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

Swift Delivery is owned by Team Valor, a racing organization founded by 2011 Kentucky Derby winner Barry Irwin. The horse has already seen success, winning its first start in an allowance race at Woodbine in July. Its next outing will be at the Toronto Cup on August 31st.

Kelce’s involvement in the horse’s ownership is a result of his friendship with the Zoldan family, who invited him to Churchill Downs on race day in May. The family is also involved in the ownership of the horse, along with Gary Barber, a South African-born American film producer and former chairman and CEO of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Fans have reacted positively to the news, with many praising Kelce’s decision to name the horse after his girlfriend. “That’s so cute,” one fan wrote, while another joked, “He knows that Swift name is 100 percent winner.”

The horse is also sponsored by Taylor Made, adding to the Taylor Swift theme. Fans have been quick to poke fun at the situation, with one user saying, “I’m sorry to all the other competitors, but they do not stand a chance, there’s no competing with blondie’s luck.”

In other news, Kelce has just signed a nine-figure podcast deal with his older brother, Jason, which gives exclusive rights to ad sales and distribution to Wondery, an Amazon company.
