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.",
