'Let's ride.' Super Bowl-winning QB Russell Wilson earns horse racing win with 1st-ever starter on Travers Day
Travers Day at Saratoga started with retired NFL QB Russell Wilson earning his first-ever win as a horse owner with Club Reign.
Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson made a unique splash on Travers Day at Saratoga Race Course by winning the first race with his very first starter, Club Reign. The victory came in a maiden special weight field of six other 2-year-olds, with Club Reign sweeping past the competition by six lengths. Co-owner Wilson, along with wife Ciara and their three children, celebrated the victory with their partners.
Wilson, a three-time Pro Bowl player who led the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl XLVIII championship in 2014, expressed his excitement about Club Reign's performance and the success of Three Brand Racing, an apparel company he co-owns. Club Reign's co-owner, trainer Whit Beckman, is set to enter Ocelli in the upcoming Travers Stakes.
