Beadman, who has been at the helm of the Godolphin on an interim basis since former boss John O’Shea opted to step down last month, trained Banuelo to victory at the Illawarra Turf Club.

It came just hours after the global stable announced James Cummings would be taking over the role as head trainer for their Australian base.

Cummings will leave behind his stable at Leilani Lodge before taking over the Godolphin role from July 8.

“It is truly an honor to be asked to join the Godolphin team as the Head Trainer in Australia and I am very grateful to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed for the opportunity," Cummings said an announcement made on Godolphin’s website.

“I am confident in my experience and I definitely have the enthusiasm to build on the incredible success that has already been achieved by Godolphin in Australia."

Beadman will revert to his previous position as assistant trainer when Cummings takes over.

The former top jockey remained in his interim role at Kembla’s mid-week provincial meeting and was on-hand to see Banuelo race to an impressive victory in The William Beach Brasserie Class 1 Handicap (1200m). 

After sitting outside the lead, Banuelo let down well in the straight to beat Kerry Parker’s My Surfer Goal by 1-¼ lengths, with Theresa Bateup’s Arrows Destiny in third.

“It was a good positive ride by Corey [Brown],” Beadman said.

“The other day [when she finished runner-up] she felt the pinch in the last bit of the race but Corey cuddled her and nursed her, and she just had the last crack at them.”

Beadman felt Banuelo was capable of being tested in city grade.

“She makes her own luck and puts herself there so I think she will take a lot of the race," he said.

Banuelo is a half sister to Godolphin’s former Group winning gelding Generalife. 

Generalife had 40 starts for the stable, including a victory in the Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes as well as multiple placings at Group 1 level. 

“Generalife first kicked off for us a few years ago and he turned out to be a real warhorse for us,” Beadman said.

“Albaicin [the two horses’ mother] has been a good mare for us and the Street Cry fillies go great.”

Earlier, a determined performance on the speed saw Siam just edged out by the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Hualalai in the final strides of the Albion Park Cellars 2YO Maiden Plate (1200m).
