LNJ Foxwoods has announced its departure from the Southern California racing circuit via a statement released on Twitter Sunday. The Roth family's operation, including Larry and Nanci Roth and daughter Jaime, will move its horses to the East Coast, Canada, and Kentucky.
“LNJ Foxwoods has made the difficult decision to take a break from having horses stabled year-round in Southern California,” the statement reads. With our family based in New York and one of our advisors, Alex Solis, II of Solis/Litt, having relocated to Lexington, we would like to focus on the East Coast, Canada and Kentucky circuits at this time. Our horses in training in Southern California will be moved east to continue their careers under the care of Josie Carroll, Brad Cox, Bill Mott, Todd Pletcher, and Brendan Walsh.
“We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Southern California and celebrated many milestones there, including winning the G1 Breeders' Cup F&M Sprint with Covfefe at Santa Anita. In particular, we would like to thank Richard Mandella and his team for their tireless work and dedication to our horses and all those in his care. Richard has done a terrific job for our stable and we have enjoyed so much success together.”
In addition, LNJ announced the retirement of longtime stable star United.
“United, a seven-time graded-stakes winner and runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Turf, has [provided] so many thrills over the years,” the release stated. “He will remain a part of the LNJ family and is being retired as our riding horse in Kentucky, where we hope he will enjoy his second career just as much as his first.”
