James Goodman will be auctioning his and his partner’s horses on 16 December at his stables at Summerveld.
“The demographics have changed and small yards are finding it increasingly tough. It’s a sad day,” he said.
Goodman has held his licence for 42 years and is an accomplished rider.
He attained his junior Transvaal colours in showjumping and eventing, played Polo with Prince Philip and was also a top point-to-point jockey in the days of the Cape Hunt & Polo Club.
He also trained many good winners.
There was no indication as to whether he will continue hosting the popular Winning Ways show.

All the best Mr Goodman in your retirement. Enjoy.
Backed many longshot winners of yours. My standout was when Highborn won the 2yo feature at any price on July Day. Thanks.

It is still a long way to your 'retirement'. I am sure you will be going out with a BANG.
All the best and I hope I will still meet you around as host/panel to some horse racing functions.
All the best and may you out last the CIGAR.
