Travis Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has recently made headlines for his latest venture into the world of horse racing. Alongside the Zoldan family, owners of Phantom Fireworks, Kelce has acquired a significant share of a racehorse named Swift Delivery. The name of the horse bears a striking resemblance to Kelce’s girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, sparking speculation about a possible connection.
Kelce and Swift have been a prominent couple in the world of sports and entertainment since their relationship became public last fall. Swift has been seen supporting Kelce at his football games, while Kelce has attended Swift’s concerts during the football offseason. Their high-profile relationship has garnered attention from fans and media alike, making their involvement in horse racing even more intriguing.
The ownership of racehorses by professional athletes is not uncommon, with former major leaguer Jayson Werth and NHL defenseman Erik Johnson among those who have invested in the sport. Swift Delivery, the horse in which Kelce has a stake, has shown promise with two consecutive wins at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. Trainer Mark Casse has expressed confidence in the horse’s potential, highlighting his recent performances as a sign of greater success to come.
Kelce’s connection to the Zoldan family, who co-own Swift Delivery, adds a personal touch to his foray into horse racing. Kelce attended this year’s Kentucky Derby with the Zoldans and has a close relationship with Alex Zoldan, the son of Phantom Fireworks CEO Bruce Zoldan. Additionally, Taylor Made, a prominent sponsor in the horse racing industry, is also involved with Swift Delivery, further solidifying Kelce’s ties to the sport.
As Kelce continues to excel on the football field, his venture into horse racing adds another dimension to his off-field pursuits. With Swift Delivery showing promise on the racetrack and Kelce’s growing involvement in the sport, it will be interesting to see how this new chapter unfolds for the NFL superstar and his partners in the world of horse racing.
