The Victorian harness racing industry’s thoughts are with Gavin Lang and his family after receiving confirmation the champion driver has taken ill.
Lang is not able to have visitors, but his family issued a statement to the industry via Harness Racing Victoria, which read:
“Gavin is currently being treated for a sudden illness, which will keep him away from the races for the immediate future.
“We are remaining positive and Gavin is in good spirits. However, it is extremely important that he has time to rest. We thank friends for their warm thoughts and respecting our need for privacy at this time.”
