He was born at Newmarket in 1887, the son of William Jarvis , who trained Cyllene, sire of four Derby winners. Jack Jai-vis 's two brothers are W. R. Jarvis , trainer, to His Majesty the King, and B. E. Jarvis. who trained Papyrus, winner of the Derby.
As a jockey he had considerable success, riding many winners, including Hackler's Pride, winner of the' Cambridgeshire in 1903, which was one of the biggest coups ever brought off on the Turf.
He started training in the spring of 1914, but closed down owing to the War and joined the Army. After the War he started at Park Lodge, and in 1922 he took over the late Lord Rosebery's horses and the following year won for him the Two Thousand Guineas with Ellangowan, and in 1924 the One Thousand with Plack. For the present Earl he won the St. Leger with Sandwich, and the Eclipse with Miracle. He has at present the largest string of horses in Newmarket.
