In 2003, Jack Berry set the ambitious target of GBP 30,000 for the Berry's fund-raising barbeque in aid of The Injured Jockey's Fund (IJF). "Better Late Than Never" tells the story, in Jack's own inimitable style, of how that figure was not only reached but doubled. Crammed with stories from Jack's extraordinary life, and, as ever, with no punches pulled, it will delight the fans of his previous three books and win many new admirers. It was Jack's vision that led directly to the IJF's first capital venture, Oaksey House, in Lambourn, the building of which has just been completed. The proceeds of "Better Late Than Never" have been dedicated by Jack to the Injured Jockey's Fund to be put towards the Oaksey House in the North. Jack Berry's life in racing, from bone-breaking journeyman jockey (47 winners, 46 fractures in twelve years) to record-breaking trainer is one of the legends of the modern Turf. But even at the height of his phenomenal training career Jack never stopped working for the cause that was closest to his heart, the Injured Jockey's Fund.
