After a successful football career, Jake Delhomme transitioned into horse racing, breeding and racing horses under the Set-Hut LLC banner. His horse, Touchuponastar, recently won a major upset at the New Orleans Classic, beating out top competitors. Delhomme paid $15,000 for Touchuponastar, comparing the purchase to his own experience of going undrafted in the 1997 NFL draft.

Touchuponastar’s victory at the New Orleans Classic was a significant upset, defeating the best horse in the world and securing a $300K win. Delhomme expressed his excitement and pride in the horse’s performance, highlighting the parallels between his own career and Touchuponastar’s journey. Despite not expecting the win, Delhomme received congratulations from friends and colleagues after the victory.

Delhomme’s horse racing success comes after his memorable performance in Super Bowl XXXVIII, where he led the Carolina Panthers to a close game against the New England Patriots. While he fell short of a Super Bowl victory, Delhomme’s recent win with Touchuponastar marks a significant achievement in his post-football career.
