Life after Godolphin sees young horseman take his iconic name to Asian racing hub
Less than two months after Godolphin dropped the bombshell that James Cummings would not be their exclusive trainer in Australia, a new door has opened up for the Australian—a gateway to one of the most coveted overseas jobs, training in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) made the announcement at a press conference on June 11, with the grandson of legendary trainer Bart Cummings set to embark on the new journey from the start of the 2026-27 season in September 2026.
The 37-year-old was on hand at the official presentation helmed by HKJC's executive director of racing, Andrew Harding, at the Sha Tin Clubhouse, four months after South African trainer Brett Crawford was introduced as the latest addition—but to commence training duties in the 2025-26 season—at a similar briefing on Feb 7.
On its website, HKJC extolled Cummings as "one of the most exciting talents in global racing".
It highlighted his deep racing roots from one of Australian horse racing's most illustrious families.
