McEvoy Mitchell Racing was formed in 2011 when Tony was approached by Melbourne businessman Wayne Mitchell to become his partner and Head Trainer of Lindsay Park ‘Raceside’, known as ‘Kildalton Park’.

Today, Tony & Calvin McEvoy are thrilled to consistently rank highly and receive a number of awards over the racing season. The stables success continuously builds and all strategies put in place are proving to pay dividends.

After years working with thoroughbreds in Australia and the UK, Calvin has overseen the successful build of our Ballarat home. His goal is to make the benefit of having horses trained at the central and purpose-built facility at Miners Rest go even further for our owners. Calvin aims to build the average in earnings per start.

As an apprentice jockey Tony rode more than 100 winners over a short period of time before his weight got away from him. Coming from a riding background has really helped Tony hone his skills as a trainer and continues to attribute to his ability to find quality horses. Tony has produced some outstanding champions throughout his career, including Sunlight – Coolmore, Newmarket and William Reid winner (Sunlight sold for a record $4.2 Million as a broodmare); Fields of Omagh – Dual Cox Plate winner; Hey Doc - Three times Group 1 winner; Xtravagant Star – Inglis Millennium; Despatch – Group 1 Goodwood.
