Travis Kelce's New Racehorse Seemingly Nods to Taylor Swift Romance

It's not too late for Travis Kelce and his horse to come around.
After all, the Kansas City Chiefs player bought an ownership stake in a 3-year-old gelding named Swift Delivery, according to Thoroughbred horse racing stable Team Valor International.
Travis now shares interest in the racehorse with Scream producer Gary Barber and the Zoldan family, which includes Phantom Fireworks owner Bruce Zoldan and his son Alex Zoldan.
Naturally, fans couldn't help but to draw a connection between the similarities of the equine's name and Taylor Swift, who Travis has been dating since last summer.
Yhe NFL star's older brother Jason Kelce even made a Taylor-themed joke about his new purchase, writing on X (formerly Twitter) Aug. 27 in reference to the singer's The Tortured Poets Department track, "Can this horse do it with a broken heart?"
And Travis’ decision to purchase a stake in the horse isn’t the first time he’s showed interest in racing. In fact, he attended the Kentucky Derby as a guest of the Zoldans three months ago.
"I'm a Derby guy now, man," the 34-year-old said on the May 8 episode of his and Jason's New Heights podcast. “It was so much fun.”
Calling it a "really dope experience," Travis also thanked the Zoldans for hosting him and described the family as "royalty" of the Kentucky Derby.
"They have been ingrained in the Derby for 30 years," he said. "They made it easy and fun to come out there and enjoy the Derby."
As for Swift Delivery? The brown-haired steed is a winner like Travis himself, having notched first place in a runaway race at Woodbine in Toronto last month.
According to horse-breeding database Equine Line, Swift Delivery is also a descendent of Triple Crown winner Secretariat, who Jason once jokingly accused of using performance-enhancing drugs during his historic run.
"Secretariat just so happens to be right in the heart of the steroid era," the former Philadelphia Eagles player pointed out on New Heights. "In 1973, every NFL player, every baseball player were juicing to the gills. You don't think Secretariat was f--king juiced to the rafters?"
He later apologized for the quip after the children of Secretariat's late owner Penny Chenery publicly denied the allegations.
"I’m sorry everyone, wasn’t trying to get people riled up, I really thought it was just known that in the 70s steroid use was rampant," Jason wrote in a May 6 post on X. "I’m not trying to take away from Secretariat’s, or anyone from that eras legacy."
