Maybe Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce decided to buy a share of a race horse because of its name: Swift Delivery.
Kelce, who has won three Super Bowls, began dating music superstar Taylor Swift last summer.
Bloodhorse reported Tuesday that Kelce joined with the Zoldan Family — owners of Phantom Fireworks — to buy a “significant share” of interest in the 3-year-old gelding.
Per the report, Kelce attended the Kentucky Derby in May with the Zoldans.
Kelce’s financial stake in the horse is unknown, but he should be able to afford it. This week, he and his brother, recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, signed a three-year deal with Amazon’s Wondery for the rights to their popular podcast — “New Heights With Jason and Travis Kelce” — that reportedly is worth more than $100 million.
Swift Delivery has two wins this summer, including an allowance race July 19 at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. Trained by Mark Casse, Swift Delivery is schedule to run his first stakes race on Saturday in the $125,000 Toronto Cup at Woodbine.
