JAMES CUMMINGS
-
Australia
Leading the huge operation that is Godolphin has not fazed James Cummings since he took over in 2017.
Also being the grandson of the legendary Bart Cummings has not stopped him creating his own pieces of history.
He trained in partnership with Bart for a short while and then in his own right before leading the blue army.
Prized Icon was his first major in 2016 and its Victoria Derby win was a family triumph.
The 2018/19 season also saw him create a National Record for black type winners which included his first of the 'big ones' as Kiamichi led from the jump in the Golden Slipper.
