Travis Kelce Reveals He ‘Almost Won $100,000’ at the Kentucky Derby: ‘A Nose Away from Winning’
While appearing at the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 4, 2024 in Louisville, Kentucky, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was all smiles after winning his first official bet of the day.
In a video shared on the official Kentucky Derby Instagram account, the 3-time Super Bowl champ can be seen jumping up and down, clapping and loudly cheering after coming out on top at the end of one of the many races that take place throughout the day’s events.
“When you show up to the Kentucky Derby and your first bet hits,” the account captioned the post. “@killatrav off to a hot start at the Kentucky Derby.”
While fans were thrilled to see the NFL player once again enjoying himself during the off-season, some were bummed to see that he did not attend the event with his girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift.
While Kelce didn’t have his better half on his arm, he did look particularly dapper in a white, pinstriped double-breasted suit, featuring a white collared shirt, dark-blue tie and matching feather-trimmed fedora hat.

Showing off his fashion-forward prowess, the future hall of famer appeared to have matched a dark red pocket square to his suit’s buttons. Nicely done, sir.
Late night host Jimmy Fallon also shared a video on Instagram of his Derby run-in with Kelce, showing the pair greeting each other, shaking hands and bumping shoulders while Fallon held a puppy in his arms, as one does.
“Chili Flag for the win! #KentuckyDerby @killatrav,” Fallon captioned the post
