TORONTO (AP) — A racehorse named that three-time Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end 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 , who Kelce has been dating. Kelce attended the Kentucky Derby in May.
