Team Valor Stable LLC is an American Thoroughbred horse racing stable based in Lake Worth, Florida . It was founded by Barry Irwin and Jeff Siegel who create partnerships (syndicates) with racing enthusiasts to race Thoroughbred horses at major racing venues, primarily in North America .[ 1]
In early July 2007, Barry Irwin acquired the equity position held by Jeff Siegel and changed the name of the operation to Team Valor International .
In keeping with the new name, Team Valor became more internationally focused as Irwin proposed to seek out more excellent stock abroad, having proven earlier that it could be just as lucrative and exciting as finding runners in North America.[ 2]
In 2011, Team Valor's colt Animal Kingdom , who was also bred by Barry Irwin, won the Kentucky Derby .[ 3]
In the ten years in which North American-based Racing Partnership statistics have been kept, Team Valor International has been the Leading Partnership by number of stakes races won in the years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2018.[ 4]
