Phillip “Phil” Langley, 83, president of the U.S. Trotting Association for 13 years, died Saturday, April 11. He was elected as a USTA director in 1983 and became president in 2003 before resigning at the close of 2016. Mr. Langley was admitted to a Chicago-area hospital and underwent triple bypass surgery on March 30. He was in the intensive care unit (ICU) for about a week and improved and was moved into a cardiac care area. But his condition worsened and he was moved back to ICU and testing re- vealed he had covid-19. Mr. Langley’s leadership at the USTA was characterized by great advances in technology, such as online entry for races at all levels and a social media presence that made it possi- ble for people across the globe to follow racing’s people and horses at any time, on any electronic device. Mr. Langley, a native of Wisconsin, learned about racing from his father, who was a mailman, restaurant owner and in the 1930s, took over administration of the Elkhorn Fair and later the Wisconsin State Fair. “I learned to read by helping my dad figure out which horses qualified for a race,” Mr. Langley said.

  • The Economic and Social Contribution of Horseracing in Europe 2
    The economic and social contribution of horse racing in Europe September 2009 European Pari Mutuel Association www.parimutuel -europe.org This document is part of a larger effort from EPMA to better describe the horseracing sector in Europe and to track its health over time. The document builds on a joint research investment by McKinsey and Company and EPMA members on the horse racing sector in Europe, to describe the economic flows in the industry and compare the funding of horse racing across countries, as well as to that of other sports. Building a comprehensive and rigorous fact base on the horse racing sector at the European level will be a progressive and long term effort that will be repeated by EPMA on a yearly basis in order to support their ongoing dialogue with policy decision makers in Europe. Members of EPMA are present in 10 countries, traditionally active in developing horseracing and horse breeding (Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom). They wish to share their common concerns about developing efficient regulations taking into account the promotion of the equine sector and consumer’s fairness and protection. AB Trav.
