SARATOGA SPRINGS - Three Brand Racing, let's ride.
The very first race on Saturday's Travers Day card at Saratoga Race Course brought a unique brand of excitement when Club Reign, ridden by Edgard Zayas, ran a maiden special weight field of six other 2-year-olds off their feet en route to a six-length victory.
The performance was impressive, but the connections brought the hype. Club Reign was the first-ever starter for co-owner Three Brand Racing, the new racing enterprise of recently retired Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson.
As Wilson, music star Ciara - the former NFL QB's wife - and the couple's three children celebrated with their partners, there was plenty of hype in the winner's circle.
"Man, what an exciting day," a jubilant Wilson said. "We're so excited for Three Brand Racing and, obviously, Club Reign. What a blessing. We were so fired up about this horse. We felt like we had a tremendous athlete in this horse. (He's) our first one for me and Ciara and our team, our Three Brand Racing team, and to come out here and to win in Saratoga - and he won by a lot. He's a fast horse."
