JAMES and Bart Cummings celebrated Christmas yesterday - and hopefully they'll be celebrating a win on Friday with the aptly-named Duet.

It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks for the famous racing family, which started with Bart calling time on the five-month training partnership with his grandson James, only to quickly do a backflip and claim it was back on.

James said on Saturday after The Peak won at Flemington the dust-up had been blown out of proportion, and maintained that view yesterday when contacted by The Daily Telegraph.

"It really was a mountain out of a mole hill," Cummings said.

"I couldn't afford to think about (the split) because 'confidence lost, everything lost'.

"We've got the aptly-named Duet going around Friday night (at Kensington), and we've got Blazing Dragon ready to run out of her skin over 2500m at Flemington on Saturday."

One big change that has taken place with the Cummings' set-up is Bart's long-serving Sydney lieutenant Bill Charles is gone.

"Let's just say Cummings and Cummings is under new manageent," James said when asked about Charles's exit.

Cummings also explained the reason for him leaving the country after the Melbourne spring, which was said to have upset several staffers. It was not a simple case of meeting the future "in-laws", he said.

"Monica's (paternal) grandfather passed away 12 months ago, and her grandmother, Lolita Mimi, who is a lovely lady I just met, Monica hadn't seen her in many years," Cummings said.

"We caught up with her in Canada, and you have to make that effort because you never know when the last chance will be (to see them again). There's a never quiet time."
