Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson has found a new end zone.
It's the winner's circle at Saratoga Race Course.
Wilson, who recently retired after 14 seasons in the NFL, was on hand at Saratoga with his wife, Grammy-winning singer Ciara, and children to watch his 2-year-old colt Club Reign win at first asking by 6 lengths in the opening race on the Aug. 29 Travers day card.
Wilson, a likely Hall of Famer on the gridiron, recently formed Three Brand Racing, and Club Reign was his initial starter.
As one might expect, the sight of Wilson and Ciara in the winner's circle created quite a stir, sparking a long line of patrons ready to congratulate them or ask for selfies and autographs.
"Club Reign, baby," Wilson said as he slapped hands with well-wishers. "Three Brand, Baby."

After tasting victory with his first starter as an owner, the former quarterback with the Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, and New York Giants said he was eager to get more involved in the game.
"We're all in, baby, with Three Brand Racing," he said. "This is exciting. It's a huge win for Three Brand Racing. I'm excited for Club Reign, and our trainer, Whit Beckman, is a stud."
Club Reign, a son of Core Beliefs out of the stakes-placed Bernardini mare Bag of Tricks, was purchased for $475,000 at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Spring Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training. The 2-year-old is also owned by Ribble Farms and Walmac Farm, the latter of which bred Club Reign in partnership with Gary Broad.
Club Reign ($18.72) broke quickly under Edgard Zayas and dueled for the lead through fractions of :22.53 and :45.82 before pulling away decisively in the stretch to cover the 6 furlongs in 1:11.27.
Subjugation was second by a nose over Beau Valor.
