Beaumont calls time on career Peter Beaumont, trainer of 1993 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Jodami, has decided to bring the curtain down on his 24-year career. The North Yorkshire trainer will not renew his licence at the end of the month, and will instead hand over the reins to his assistant Patrick Holmes. "I'm 75, things get harder and any kind of work is harder," confirmed Beaumont. "My assistant Patrick Holmes is renting part of the yard so I'm giving up. "My licence runs out in a fortnight. I might have a runner or two before then but we've been held up like everybody else. "We've had some good horses for the size of the yard as I've never had more than 30 (horses)." Jodami was the leading staying chaser of his generation, winning the Hennessy Gold Cup at Leoapardstown three times. Other stars trained by Beaumont at Foulrice Farm in Brandsby, near York, include Hussard Collonges, Young Kenny, J J Henry and Bobby Grant.
