Blue-Blood Gives Cummings and Godolphin 1000th Winner

Tara Madgwick - Saturday September 24

My how time flies, James Cummings saddled his 1000th winner for Godolphin when blue-blood 3YO Pericles scored on debut at Newcastle on Saturday.

A three year-old half-brother by Street Boss (USA) to multiple Group I winners Epaulette and Helmet, Pericles pressed forward to lead in the 1400m maiden and when challenged fought on doggedly to win by a nose.
