Default No! Don't leave us, Mr. Jarvis!

Michael Jarvis decides to retire from training ranks
By Graham Green 11:55PM 22 FEB 2011

MICHAEL JARVIS, one of Flat racing's longest-serving and most respected trainers, is retiring on health grounds with almost immediate effect.

Jarvis, 72, who in recent years has undergone heart surgery and been treated for prostate cancer, plans to hand over the reins at Kremlin House Stables in Newmarket to his assistant, Roger Varian, once the formalities have been completed.

I am so depressed now.

For anyone who doesn't know quite who this is, read even just a part of this and you'll understand.

Surprised for such a distinguished trainer, the only horse I remember him training was Rakti.

A lot of his great horses were before I followed racing so there are quite a few names I've never heard before.

He's added to the angels thread.

Man... it just pains me.

I'll post some of the tributes, etc., when they start coming in...

"On a more personal note, Michael Jarvis's death today has left me numb. We all knew it was coming but I can't really find the words to describe my admiration for him.

"As a trainer he's up there with the very best, but as a man he was outstanding.

"He was kind, considerate and just a great bloke. When I think about what training does to people, I cannot understand how some rise above all the bullshit and stress.

"Michael conducted himself with so much class it was frightening."

"His training record speaks for itself - he was brilliant, but as a man he was even better. My thoughts are with Gay and the girls. I personally know that Gay and Jackie have been incredibly strong throughout his illness and they are a total credit to themselves and to a much loved, brilliant man."
