A Perfect Month of Wins and a Wedding: Melbourne Cup Triumph and Love for Trainer Calvin McEvoy
A remarkable month of victories culminated in a heartwarming celebration for Melbourne Cup co-trainer Calvin McEvoy, who exchanged vows with his partner Demi Ryan on Sunday.
The couple's wedding, held at Hazelmere Homestead in the Adelaide Hills, was a beautiful affair attended by family, friends, and many racing community members. They shared their happiness on social media with a simple yet sweet post, 'Officially The McEvoy’s,' adorned with pink love hearts.
Calvin and his father Tony's star horse, Half Yours, claimed the prestigious Melbourne Cup on November 4, marking a historic achievement as the 13th horse in the race's 165-year history to win the double with the Caulfield Cup. This triumph was celebrated by jockey Jamie Melham, who became the second female to ride the winner in the iconic Cup, following Michelle Payne.
The wedding saw Demi wearing a stunning white bridal gown, and Calvin in a white tuxedo jacket with black pants. The couple's love story began with their engagement in February, and Demi's subsequent participation in the Tour d’Horse to support the KIDS Foundation charity.
Calvin's emotions ran high after Half Yours' victory, stating, 'This is unbelievable. Wow — what a horse.' The couple's perfect month of wins and love continues, leaving a lasting impression on the racing world and beyond.
