On-Air personality Chad Rozema leaving Woodbine for Raceway Manager role at Grand River Raceway

TORONTO, February 23, 2023 – Woodbine Entertainment today announced that long-time on-air personality Chad Rozema will be leaving the organization to pursue a new opportunity.

Rozema originally joined Woodbine in 2007 as a commentator for HPItv before becoming a main stay host and analyst for Woodbine’s Standardbred simulcast coverage. He also served as a backup race caller and has contributed to Woodbine’s Thoroughbred and Standardbred social content.

Notably, Rozema has been a trusted host and analyst for Woodbine’s network coverage over the last decade-plus. Rozema contributed to Bet Night Live on The Score, Racing Night Live on TSN, and many of Woodbine’s marquee events, including The Queen’s Plate and Pepsi North America Cup.

“Chad has been an integral member of our Woodbine team, providing great enthusiasm and professionalism to our racing products and broadcasts,” said Jim Lawson, CEO, Woodbine Entertainment. “We will miss having Chad on the Woodbine team, but we’re excited to watch him excel in his new role. On behalf of Woodbine and our fans, I would like to thank Chad for his contributions and wish him the best of luck in his new endeavour.”

Rozema has accepted a position as Raceway Manager at Grand River Raceway. His final broadcast will be in late March.

Woodbine wishes Rozema the best of luck in his new role.
