SYDNEY, Sept 1 AAP - Bart Cummings has been given a timely boost with talented three-year-old Goldstone producing a debut win at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

Cummings is in hospital recovering from a fractured pelvis suffered in a fall at his home earlier this week.

His grandson James Cummings, who is also the stable's representative, says the legendary trainer is doing well.

"He's fine, I spoke to him this morning, he'll probably spend a week in there and then be back at home," Cummings said.

"We're due for a bit of a change in luck and we got a bit more today. Let's hope for further turns of luck in the future."

The 82-year-old trainer had only recently returned to the races after a bout of pneumonia kept him away from the track for many weeks over the autumn and winter carnivals.

Goldstone showed he was a horse of the future with his debut victory, responding when challenged in the straight to win the Members' Terraces Handicap (1150m) by a short half head from Renewed Vitality.

James Cummings said the son of Shamardal was nominated for all the good three-year-old races including the Group One Spring Champion Stakes.

"We sent Kudakulari down to Melbourne, he's going to go towards the Caulfield Guineas now and Bart promised us we'd keep this bloke around for the Spring Champion Stakes," Cummings said.

"I think when he gets up to a trip he might be even more dynamic.

"I really think we've got something there, but where we channel it is the question," Cummings said.

The Cummings spring carnival team is hitting its straps with Cox Plate winner So You Think making a successful return last Saturday as he prepares for his defence of Australia's weight-for-age championship.

VRC Oaks winner Faint Perfume and Queensland Derby winner Dariana are among the stable's leading lights heading to the Melbourne Cup which Cummings has won 12 times.
