Later Life
Terry is married to the trainer Henrietta Knight, and as a result is very much still involved in horse racing.
Together with his wife he holds open days at his stables, with 5000 turning up to see their now legendary Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Best Mate, who was ridden to victory by Jim Culloty in 2002 and 2003. Another of their star horses, Edredon Bleu won the 2003 King George VI Chase at Kempton Park Racecourse.
In the early 1980s, Terry trained the actor John Hurt for his role in the 1983 film Champions, the biopic of jockey Bob Champion. Terry was followed into the racing game by his son, from his first marriage, Robert.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“There are three times in a man’s life when he has the right to yell at the moon—when he marries; when his children come; and when he finishes a job he had to be crazy to start.”
—Borden Chase [Frank Fowler] (1900–1971)
“You realize the futility of worry. You learn to hate the small and the little. Life is a pie which you cut in large slices, not grudgingly, not sparingly. You know your limitations and proceed to eliminate them; your abilities, and proceed to develop them. You are free.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
