The Stronach Group, also known as 1/ST, is a privately owned company headquartered in Aurora, Ontario, and Hallandale Beach, Florida. Originally founded in 1999 by Frank Stronach, it employs an estimated 2,400 team members. The enterprise operates as a commercial horse racing, digital gaming, and entertainment company, with activities encompassing search, social, and retail media. Its consumer-facing entertainment and wagering division, 1/ST, was established in 2020 as a brand consolidation of the entertainment, technology, and track assets of The Stronach Group. Functioning as a significant infrastructure operator within North American Thoroughbred racing, the company manages approximately 20 percent of the total wagering industry share in North America.
Belinda Stronach recently wrote to Canadian Ministers of Health and Agriculture, alerting them to the potential circumvention of New World Screwworm import restrictions for horses on June 11, 2026. Previously, on May 12, 2026, 1/ST announced its renewed partnership with Equine MediRecord (EMR) and Business Infusions (BI) to digitize equine welfare protocols for Preakness 151, enhancing health and safety measures for the race held at Laurel Park while Pimlico Race Course undergoes redevelopment. This followed a landmark agreement on April 23, 2026, where Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) moved to acquire the intellectual property rights to the Preakness Stakes from The Stronach Group's 1/ST Racing arm. Earlier, on April 15, 2026, 1/ST publicly supported the SAFE Act, underscoring the industry's shared commitment to horse care. In January, on the 19th, Maryland revealed plans to purchase Laurel Park to convert it into a training center, shifting from an earlier proposal for Shamrock Farm as part of an effort to revitalize the state's thoroughbred horse racing industry.
