Swift Delivery Gallops to Victory: Travis Kelce’s Horse Triumphs at Woodbine

Toronto, ON – June 23, 2025, 12:08 PM WAT – In a thrilling display of speed and strategy, Swift Delivery, the racehorse co-owned by NFL superstar Travis Kelce, clinched a decisive victory at Woodbine Racetrack on Sunday, June 22, 2025. The win, captured in Race 10 and celebrated across social media, marks a significant moment for the three-time Super Bowl champion’s foray into Thoroughbred racing and underscores the horse’s resurgence under the expert guidance of renowned trainer Mark E. Casse.

A Star-Studded Ownership

The victory, highlighted by an X post from @TayvisHaze at 11:06 AM UTC on June 23, 2025, showcased Swift Delivery crossing the finish line with jockey Patrick Husbands aboard, ahead of a competitive field. The post, which included an image of the winner’s circle featuring Kelce’s ownership team alongside trainer Casse, ignited excitement among fans. Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, joined the ownership ranks in August 2024 as a partner with Team Valor International, founded by Barry Irwin, and Gary Barber. This move aligns Kelce with other athletes like retired World Series winner Jayson Werth and NHL player Erik Johnson, who have also ventured into horse racing ownership.

The horse’s name, Swift Delivery, has sparked playful speculation due to Kelce’s high-profile relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift. However, Irwin clarified that the name predates their romance, adding a serendipitous twist to the story. Casse, a 16-time Sovereign Award winner and Woodbine’s leading trainer 14 times, expressed enthusiasm about Kelce’s involvement, noting, “This is great for horse racing… he bought a good horse.”

A Turnaround Tale

Swift Delivery, a 4-year-old gelding bred in Kentucky by Hunt-Steeple Hill, carries the pedigree of sire Not This Time, one of the top sires in the U.S. Despite a modest start—finishing no better than third in his first six races—the horse underwent gelding in the winter of 2024, a decision that catalyzed his improvement. Since then, Swift Delivery has won his last two starts at Woodbine, with Sunday’s triumph in a 1-mile race solidifying his comeback. The race replay, available on Woodbine’s YouTube channel, details a bunched affair where Swift Delivery surged from fourth to first, outpacing Luck Makaza by two lengths with a final time of 1:43.90.

Casse, who has trained over 3,800 career winners, including the 2019 Preakness Stakes victor War of Will, praised the horse’s development. “He’s an easy horse to be around,” Casse said, crediting assistant trainer Kathryn Sullivan and jockey Husbands for their belief in the gelding’s potential.

Race Highlights

The race commentary from Woodbine Replays captured the tension and excitement as Swift Delivery navigated a competitive field. Starting with no clear leader, the horse steadily advanced, sharing the lead with Last Dawn at the top of the lane before pulling ahead. The final stretch saw a dramatic acceleration, with Husbands expertly guiding Swift Delivery to the win, delighting the crowd and ownership team alike.

Implications for Racing

This victory not only boosts Swift Delivery’s profile but also highlights the growing trend of celebrity involvement in horse racing. Casse hopes it will draw new fans, especially with Kelce’s star power and the Taylor Swift connection. The trainer’s family, including his Swiftie wife Tina and their excited children, shared in the celebration, reflecting the personal joy this win brought.

Swift Delivery is slated for its next challenge in the Toronto Cup on Saturday, with a post time of 5:19 PM ET. As the horse continues to deliver, Kelce’s investment proves to be more than a celebrity stunt—it’s a genuine contender in the sport.

For racing enthusiasts and Kelce fans alike, Swift Delivery’s journey is one to watch, blending athletic prowess with a touch of Hollywood glamour. Stay tuned for more updates as this story gallops forward!
