Renowned US racing veterinarian Gary Lavin has died at the age of 83 at his home in Louisville, Kentucky.
Lavin had been afflicted by cancer for several years, but had successfully maintained quality of life and had been planning when he would return to his second home in South Carolina, the US Jockey Club said. He died on February 27.
Tributes have flowed from the racing world, indicative of Lavin’s standing in the industry. Lavin was a vice-chairman of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation and a former president of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) and the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association, and a director of Keeneland Association. In 1994, Lavin became the first veterinarian elected to The Jockey Club, and he also has served as a steward of that organization. He has also been on the boards of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association and the Breeders’ Cup.
