Irwin left the Form in 1978 to become a bloodstock agent and, over the next decade, bred, raced, syndicated, bought and sold several hundred horses, including It’s the One, African Sky, Moscow Ballet and Torsion.

In 1987, Irwin began operating a stable of syndicated racehorses. He formed a partnership with longtime friend Jeff Siegel, whom he bought out in 2007, when Team Valor became Team Valor International.

Irwin won the Kentucky Derby with Animal Kingdom in 2011 and has also captured numerous other prestigious races from around the globe.
