Swift Delivery’s ownership was amended to  Gary Barber, Team Valor International, LLC, Travis Kelce, Bruce Zoldan and Steven Rocco for the FanDuel TV Mint Millions Invitational Stakes GIII at Kentucky Downs on Saturday, September 7, 2025. The ownership group had to be satisfied with watching the horse race.
