James Cummings will leave his role as Godolphin’s private trainer, ending months of speculation about his ongoing tenure, with Sheikh Mohammed’s Australian horses to be dispersed among various stables from the start of the new racing season.
Staff were informed at a 9:30am meeting on Wednesday that Cummings would venture out as a public trainer for the first time since 2017, with the support of Godolphin which has pledged to give horses to the 50-time Group 1 winner to train.
Cummings will fulfil his contract, which expires on July 31, by continuing to train horses from Osborne Park at Agnes Banks, Crown Lodge at Warwick Farm and Carbine Lodge at Flemington.
