1/ST has released the following statement in support of the Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act of 2021, “1/ST, as an industry leader in Thoroughbred horse racing committed to achieving the highest level of horse health and safety standards, wholly supports the recently introduced Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act of 2021, as well as any amendments to current or future federal legislation that would prohibit the transportation of horses destined for slaughter across state or international borders. It is the collective duty of all industry stakeholders to ensure that horses are properly cared for – before, during and after their racing careers. Horses are at the center of everything we do and we owe them a duty of care.”
