The Stronach Group, also known as 1/ST, a privately owned multinational corporation headquartered in Aurora, Ontario, and Hallandale Beach, Florida, was originally founded by Frank Stronach in 1999. In 2020, 1/ST was established as a brand consolidation of The Stronach Group's entertainment, technology, and track assets, functioning as its consumer-facing entertainment and wagering division. With an estimated over 2,400 permanent and seasonal team members, the enterprise operates gambling facilities and casinos, specializing in commercial horse racing, digital gaming, and entertainment. It functions as an infrastructure operator within North American Thoroughbred racing, where it 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.
