Belinda Stronach, CEO of the Stronach Group, owner of the prestigious Preakness Stake, speaks about her leadership and vision to transform this nearly 150-year-old sporting entertainment to attract and thrive with the next generation.

Seeing an opportunity to support social innovation, in 2008, I established The Belinda Stronach Foundation as an incubator for innovative projects tackling social, economic, and health challenges both in Canada and around the world. The Foundation has served as an incubator for programs like Spread the Net, One Laptop per Child Canada, and the G20 Summit. All of which continue to this day under the operation of other independent charities.

I want to think that my position as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of 1/ST is helping redefine women’s roles in Thoroughbred horse racing by setting an example for a new generation of females in our sport.

My advice to myself would be the same advice I would give to other young women now - follow your instincts and become your advocate. Do not be afraid to take the path unknown or to take risks and break barriers. If you do this, there will be a lot of noise around you. Some people will be jealous or try to denigrate you. Take that as the price of your independence and fortitude, and embrace the noise as beautiful. It means that you are doing something.

The Preakness Stakes, the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown series, is our company’s premier event. We see it as one of our most significant opportunities to demonstrate leadership and innovation.
