Default Rick Lang

I am stunned by the news that Rick Lang passed away from stomach cancer. He was a great man to work with and I owe my career to him. Losing a colleague and a friend is never easy to deal with.

Very unfortunate. Always enjoyed watching him on OTB in the mornings during Saratoga.

I'm very sorry to hear of Rick's passing. He was very kind to me when I started out at my job. His passing calls to mind many an amusing anecdote.

RIP Rick

Rick was a great guy. He was a rare person in racing that was liked by everyone. The game is less good without him.

Like everyone that knew him I'm truly saddened to see him go.
