GettyLil Wayne has bagged himself $15,000[/caption] His horse won race six at the LAFC MeetLil Wayne – whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr – named the horse Sixhoofsevenhoof after his 2011 hit song 6 Foot 7 Foot.
He is the co-owner of Run Fast Racing, which is a celebrity race horse ownership group, as reported by TMZ.
It was founded by Adam Kluger, and Sixhoofsevenhoof took part in the opening day of the LAFC Meet in California.
It was only the horse’s second ever career race and was ridden by jockey Antonio Fresu.
To Lil Wayne’s joy, it was second time lucky as the stallion came up trumps and won race six of the day.
As a result, the rapper has been able to pocket a tidy $15,000 in prize money.
And Sixhoofsevenhoof was not the only horse from the group to win at the meet.
Punto Forty – named by Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro -was also a winner.
Kluger hailed the victories as he said: “Amazing to go two for two on our first racing weekend in California.
“Love that the two horses we sent were named by Wayne and Rauw.”

“I’ve been a passionate fan of horse racing for a long time.
“I’m thrilled to own these incredible horses alongside Wayne and Yachty.”
