Travis Kelce's racehorse Swift Delivery places second as beaten favorite in Canadian race

TORONTO — A racehorse named Swift Delivery that three-time Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce bought into has finished second in its latest start.

Sent off as the even-money favourite, Swift Delivery was beaten in the $125,000 Toronto Cup Stakes at Woodbine on Saturday. He paid $2.50 and $2.10 as his two-race winning streak ended.

Swift Delivery was last in the field of six in the early going of the one-mile race on the E.P. Taylor turf course. Under Patrick Husbands, the three-year-old gelding made a move on the outside, but couldn’t overcome eventual winner Piper’s Factor. The 7-1 shot paid $16.60 to win.

Team Valor International founder and CEO Barry Irwin said Swift Delivery is not named after pop superstar Taylor Swift, who Kelce has been dating. Kelce attended the Kentucky Derby in May.

Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is not only known for his prowess on the football field but also for his passion for horse racing. Kelce’s racehorse, Swift Delivery, recently competed in a Canadian race where it was the favorite to win but ultimately placed second.

Swift Delivery, a three-year-old filly, was expected to dominate the field in the race at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. However, despite a strong performance, Swift Delivery was unable to secure the top spot and finished in second place.

While it may be disappointing for Kelce and his team to see Swift Delivery come up short as the favorite, it is important to remember that horse racing is a highly competitive sport and anything can happen on race day. Despite the outcome, Swift Delivery’s performance is a testament to the hard work and dedication that Kelce and his team have put into training and preparing the horse for competition.

Kelce’s involvement in horse racing goes beyond just being an owner. He is actively involved in the training and care of his horses, showing a true passion for the sport. Kelce’s dedication to horse racing has earned him respect among fellow owners and fans alike.

While Swift Delivery may not have taken home the top prize in this particular race, there is no doubt that Kelce will continue to support and nurture his horses as they compete in future races. With Kelce’s commitment and determination, there is no telling what successes lie ahead for Swift Delivery and the rest of Kelce’s racing stable.
