Travis Kelce and Lil Wayne are famous for football and rap. But this week, both became winners in a sport most fans didn’t expect — horse racing. It wasn’t a game or a concert that brought them into the spotlight. Something very different happened. And no, it’s not about Taylor Swift either. On two separate tracks, in two different countries, both Travis Kelce and Lil Wayne celebrated major wins with their horses. Here’s what really went down — and how both stars ended up surprising fans in the most unexpected way.
Travis Kelce’s Horse Swift Delivery wins in Canada
On Saturday, June 22, 2025, Travis Kelce’s horse named Swift Delivery won a big race at the Woodbine Racetrack in Ontario, Canada. The Kansas City Chiefs star, who is 35 years old and a three-time Super Bowl winner, became a proud owner of the winning horse alongside Team Valor International.
Travis Kelce had bought a share in Swift Delivery back in August 2024. The horse is four years old, bred in Kentucky, and already had the name before Travis Kelce joined the team — so it’s just a funny coincidence that it matches his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s last name.
Travis Kelce had first shown interest in owning a racehorse after attending the Kentucky Derby in 2024. On his New Heights podcast, he told his brother Jason Kelce,
“I had one of the best times ever at the Derby… It would be so fun to be part of a race.” Swift Delivery has now won three career races, and this win made Kelce’s dream a reality.
Lil Wayne’s Horses win back-to-back races in California
Just two days before Travis Kelce’s horse won, rapper Lil Wayne, 42, had a huge moment in Los Alamitos, California. On Thursday, June 20, 2025, his horse Sixhoofsevenhoof won its second career race.
The next day, on Friday, June 21, his other horse Punto Forty won its very first race in a maiden special weight category. Sixhoofsevenhoof was named after Lil Wayne’s hit song 6 Foot 7 Foot and was bred in New York.
With two wins in two days, Lil Wayne is quickly making a name for himself in the horse racing world too.
