Veterinarians Larry R. Bramlage, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVS; Edward H. Fallon, DVM; and A. Gary Lavin, VMD, will be honored by the Thoroughbred Club of America (TCA) at its 83rd testimonial dinner at Keeneland Race Course, in Lexington, Kentucky, Sept. 28.

"These distinguished honorees are legends in equine veterinary medicine," TCA president Happy Broadbent said in a release. "Through their respective accomplishments as a surgeon, reproductive specialist, and racetrack veterinarian, these three pioneers have all improved the welfare of the Thoroughbred.

"Particularly in a year when the world has focused on how Thoroughbreds are treated, we look forward to honoring these three remarkable men and telling the story of the best in veterinary care" Broadbent said.

Bramlage has distinguished himself as a teacher, researcher, and leader within his profession but is best known as an orthopedic surgeon. Among his best known cases was repairing Personal Ensign's fracture, which had appeared to be career-ending. After surgery, Personal Ensign returned to continue her unbeaten career, culminating in a dramatic victory in the Breeders' Cup Distaff
