Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker’s horse Undrafted won the Jaipur Invitational on Saturday.

The race was an undercard leading up to the Belmont Stakes in New York.

The gelding, ridden by John Velazquez for trainer Wesley Ward, won the race by 1 1/2 lengths.

The race had a purse of $300,000 with the winner receiving $160,000.

Welker benefitted from a computer error during the Kentucky Derby when his winnings were overpaid by $15,000.
