Terry is a veteran of Oaklawn racing. He saddled Coastal Connection to win the 1989 Knitted Gloves Stakes here. Three years later, he sent out Timetocheckin to capture the Bayakoa Stakes. In 1997, Terry won the Rainbow Miss Stakes with Northern Silver. Over the years, he has developed such quality horses as Coastal Connection, Dr. Spanky, Timetocheckin, Dinner's On Me, Crystal Illusion, Million Questions and Nebrasska.
Terry is particularly adept at winning with horses after a layoff.
The stable and jockey accounted for both the Ballerina and Oaklawn Preview - stakes that have since been discontinued at the Spa. We finished out of the money, but at least we were a part of the occasion. Dunlavy had begun his riding career in his native England then migrated to these shores. He enjoyed a fine jockey career in America, a lot of it in New England. Back East, he did a lot of riding for Lynn Whiting, then a young trainer in the early years of what would be a remarkable training career.
