Chick Lang, Sr.
Charles John "Chick" Lang, Sr. (1926 – March 18, 2010) was an American businessman and general manager of the Maryland Jockey Club.
==Career==
During the 1970s and 1980s, Lang wore several hats in the racing business but was perhaps best known in his roles as general manager of the Maryland Jockey Club tracks, Pimlico and Laurel. He also was the jockey agent for Bill Hartack, when Hartack rose to prominence during his Hall of Fame career in the 1950s. In his later years, Lang served as a consultant and commentator for numerous tracks and media outlets.
Chick Lang was credited with bringing the Preakness national attention when the Kentucky Derby overshadowed it. He tirelessly promoted the Baltimore race, and traveled to the Kentucky Derby with signs reading, "Next Stop Preakness". He once floated hundreds of yellow and black balloons over the Kentucky Derby Parade.〔
Lang started as a successful jockey’s agent and worked at Pimlico from 1960 to 1987, holding the positions of director of racing, vice president, and general manager. In 1965, he brought a school bus full of his daughter’s friends to the infield to watch the races.〔
