Jalen Hurts the racehorse hasn't found as much success as Jalen Hurts the quarterback.
According to Horse Racing Nation, King’s daughter is married to a former Alabama football player, which made it easy to get Hurts’ consent as required by The Jockey Club when a horse is named for a human.
But it became apparent pretty quickly that the equine version was not going to ever match the achievements of the human. In fact, Jalen Hurts was an outright disappointment and had to be dropped in class with pretty much each race. You might think Lee had sentimental reasons to claim Jalen Hurts, who had won just two of 23 races at that point. Not the case. Lee, a Mississippi State fan, saw an opportunity after watching him finish second in a September 2019 race at Louisiana Downs. So the next time he popped up in a race, Lee and his partners pounced.
And, in fact, Jalen Hurts did his job. In seven races for Lee in 2020, he won two at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans with one second and third-place finish. But unfortunately, the horse developed some physical problems, so they retired him just a few months after the real Jalen Hurts was drafted by the Eagles.
