Travis Kelce Just Entered the Horse Racing Game with ‘Swift Delivery’—And Fans Are Loving It

It’s impossible for Travis Kelce’s recent “acquired a significant share” in a racehorse with a Swiftian name to be a coincidence.

Barry Irwin, the CEO and founder of Team Valor International, revealed Kelce’s surprise acquisition of the 3-year-old gelding, dubbed Swift Delivery, in a news statement sent via Blood Horse on August 27.

According to the press release, Phantom Fireworks is the “largest pyrotechnic retailer in North America,” and the 34-year-old tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs bought a portion of the company from the Zoldan family. (Team Valor and Gary Barber are the real owners of Swift Delivery; however, the Zoldans and the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs now share ownership.)

For his part, Kelce, who is from Ohio, has a long history with the Zoldans. He and Alex Zoldan have been friends for a long time. Earlier this year, the family went to the Kentucky Derby.

Swift Delivery is the offspring of racehorses Not This Time and Raegen Harper, according to Blood Horse. (An additional Swift allusion: Taylor Made Farm’s Taylor Made Stallions include Not This Time. Swift Delivery seems to be sponsored by Taylor Made as well.)

Patrick Husbands is the jockey on Swift Delivery, who has already run in two races, winning one of them back in July. August 31 at the Toronto Cup will mark his first stakes race, as well as the first one in which Kelce will be a co-owner. Following his historic new podcast agreement, Kelce made his most recent purchase.

It was previously announced on Tuesday that brother and three-time Super Bowl champion Jason Kelce signed a new three-year, $100 million contract with Wondery for their wildly successful podcast, New Heights.

The horse is also sponsored by Taylor Made.

‘That’s so cute,’ a fan reacted to Kelce’s name choice for the racehorse.

‘He knows that Swift name is 100 percent winner,’ said another

”Swift delivery sponsored by Taylor Made” i’m sorry to all the other competitors but they do not stand a chance, there’s no competing with blondie’s luck,’ someone else quipped.

”babe, it’s name is swift delivery & the jockey is Patrick, I have no choice but to do it,’ a different person joked while also referring to Patrick Husbands.

‘He better trade mark that name,’ a user pointed out.
