Team Valor International founder and CEO Barry Irwin confirmed the news to the Associated Press on Tuesday.
“It’s very exciting,” Irwin told the outlet via phone. “I met him at the Kentucky Derby and got to spend some time with him and stuff, and we talked about horses and everything. When this horse came to light and it was owned by one of my partners already, with the name I figured this has got to be a no-brainer.”

Even Jason Kelce, 36, got in on the fun as he reacted to his younger brother’s latest purchase on X (formerly Twitter) with a nod to Swift.
“But does it have an enlarged heart…. Can this horse do it with a broken heart! @tkelce,” Jason wrote, referencing Swift’s “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” song from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
During a May 8 episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast, Travis couldn’t help but vent to his brother over how he “almost won” $100,000 at the annual Louisville horse racing event.
“I was a nose away from winning that f—ing thing, dude,” he Jason, noting that he put money on two horses, Numbers 11 and 2.
“I was a beginner. I didn’t get too far into that,” Travis continued. “I just wanted to f—-ing put the money that I brought in there and throw it down on like one horse and just get f—-ing pumped if that thing was even close. And sure enough, coming around that corner, you see that thing … come up.”
“… I almost f—ing won $100,000 off a Japanese horse in the Kentucky Derby. Do you think America would have shamed me for that?” Travis added, jokingly.

Though the football star didn’t have much luck at the Kentucky Derby this year, things have been going well for him and Swift.
Over the weekend TMZ obtained photos of the couple spending time together in Rhode Island.
Throughout their relationship, the two stars have put in effort to show up for one another — with the “Love Story” singer attending his games during the NFL season and Kelce appearing at more than a dozen of her Eras Tour shows.
“They really are very, very happy together,” a source close to the couple shared with PEOPLE in July. “They’re very serious about each other, and the relationship feels different for both of them.”
