McEvoys’ 5YO galloper to stay in Melbourne after effortless win in G3 Naturalism Stakes

Father-and-son training partners Tony and Calvin McEvoy will have a starter in the A$5 million (S$4.29 million) Group 1 Caulfield Cup, after Half Yours strolled to an easy victory at Caulfield on Sept 20.

The St Jean five-year-old’s first Group success in the Group 3 Naturalism Stakes (2,000m) has provided him with a ballot exemption into the premier staying feature (2,400m) on Oct 18.

Sent out as the $13 shot under Jamie Melham, Half Yours scored a 3½-length win from Berkshire Breeze (Michael Dee), while Grand Pierro (Zac Spain) finished another head away in third.

The McEvoys had planned to run Half Yours in the Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes (2,000m) in Sydney on Sept 20, and aim him for the Group 1 The Metropolitan (2,400m) at Randwick on Oct 4.

But the gelding was in danger of not making the field as he was an emergency acceptor.
