James McDonald, the leading Jockey in Sydney, has been Australia’s top rider for the previous three years, but the spring majors in Melbourne had eluded the great Kiwi-born hoop until Tuesday.
McDonald had competed in the event eight times, his best result being a runner-up place on Fiorente in 2012.
In the same manner, Damien Oliver rode that horse to victory in the following year’s Cup. In 2016, McDonald also finished third on Hartnell.
McDonald is shocked and happy at the same time as he never figured this day would come.
Who is James Mcdonald Jockey Girlfriend? Is he married?
James Mcdonald is in a committed relationship with Katelyn Mallyon, who is also a fellow jockey.
Her joy after her boyfriend, James, won the title made her happy as she broke down during and after he won the race. She believes James fulfilled every Jockey’s dream.
McDonald pushed his way along the iconic Flemington roses to hug his partner Katelyn Mallyon, who has twice ridden in the Melbourne Cup as a jockey after he had returned to the front of the stand and dismounted.
Katelyn Mallyon gave up racing with the sole purpose of supporting her partner, James Mcdonald.
It appears that they both are yet to tie a knot. But, on the contrary, we are rooting for their relationship to flourish over the coming years!
