Jaime Roth named to Woodbine's board of directors

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Woodbine Entertainment announced Thursday that high-profile owner and breeder Jaime Roth, of LNJ Foxwood Stables, has been appointed to its board of directors.

“Woodbine is excited to announce the appointment of Jaime to its board of directors,” said board chair Christine Magee. “We look forward to working with Jaime and will benefit greatly from her expertise as we leverage her horse racing experience to continue to grow the sport of horse racing in Ontario, and our brand and racing product globally.”

Roth, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, holds a degree in journalism as well as a Master’s in sports business from New York University. After years of following Thoroughbred racing as a fan, she wanted to get involved at the business level. In 2012, Jaime and her parents, Larry and Nanci Roth, started LNJ Foxwoods, which has emerged as a major racing outfit in the U.S. and abroad.

LNJ Foxwoods currently has a host of quality horses at Woodbine, including stakes winners Boardroom Belichick, as well as Loyalty, Dreidel, and Striker.

“We are also very excited to welcome back Mark and his valuable insights, experience and perspective to our board,” said Magee.
