18_0 | Makybe Diva (foaled 21 March 1999) is a champion Australian Thoroughbred racehorse who is the only |
18_1 | horse to win three Melbourne Cups and the only mare to win it more than once. She achieved the feat |
18_2 | in 2003, 2004, and 2005. She also won the 2005 Cox Plate. She was the highest stakes-earner in |
18_3 | Australian history, winning more than A$ 14 million. |
18_4 | She is by Desert King (a winner of the Irish Derby and Irish 2,000 Guineas) out of Tugela by |
18_5 | Riverman (USA). Tugela was also the dam of the Australian stakes-winners, Musket and Valkyrie |
18_6 | Diva. Makybe Diva is owned by South Australian tuna fisherman Tony Šantić, who named her after five |
18_7 | of his employees - Maureen, Kylie, Belinda, Diane, and Vanessa - by taking the first two letters |
18_8 | from each of their names. |
18_9 | Background |
18_10 | Tony Šantić's bloodstock agent John Foote purchased Tugela in foal to Desert King for 60,000 |
18_11 | guineas at the December 1998 Tattersall's Sale. As normally happens with Santic's British-purchased |
18_12 | horses, she was taken to Dick Fowlston's Britton House Stud in Somerset to board before being sent |
18_13 | on to Australia. Tugela gave birth to a filly at five minutes past midnight on 21 March 1999. The |
18_14 | filly was offered for sale at the 1999 Tatts Newmarket foal sale, but did not make the reserve. |
18_15 | Named Makybe Diva, the filly remained at Britton House Stud until August 2000, when she and Tugela |
18_16 | were shipped to Australia. |
18_17 | Racing career |
18_18 | 2002: Three-Year-Old Season |
18_19 | Originally trained by David Hall, Makybe Diva made her racetrack debut in late July 2002, as a |
18_20 | three-year-old, in a maiden at Benalla, Victoria, and finished fourth. |
18_21 | 2002/2003: Four-Year-Old Season |
18_22 | In her next start two weeks later - and now classed as a four-year-old - Makybe Diva began a |
18_23 | six-race winning sequence in a maiden at Wangaratta, which culminated in stakes wins, three months |
18_24 | later, in the Werribee Cup (2,000 m) and the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2,500 m). The last win was |
18_25 | significant in that it qualified the mare for the following year's Melbourne Cup, and allowed her |
18_26 | trainer to give her a light autumn campaign, which consisted of just two starts in relatively short |
18_27 | races. |
18_28 | Makybe Diva's early career was unusual in that she was unable to contest any major races against |
18_29 | horses of her own age, such as the VRC Oaks, because she was foaled in the U.K. to the Northern |
18_30 | Hemisphere breeding calendar. This meant that, for Australian racing purposes, where horses |
18_31 | "age-up" on 1 August each year, she was bracketed with horses foaled about six months earlier, in |
18_32 | the Southern Hemisphere spring. |
18_33 | 2003/2004: Five-Year-Old Season (Melbourne Cup 1) |
18_34 | Makybe Diva resumed racing in the spring over , but while being reasonably competitive, she did not |
18_35 | win any major races. Second up at her next start in the Group 3 Stock Stakes, she came from behind |
18_36 | to finish fourth, beaten by just over two lengths. She then started 5-1 equal favourite in the |
18_37 | Group 2 Turnbull Stakes, where she again raced at the back of the field, before finishing fourth, |
18_38 | beaten by only one length. |
18_39 | After finishing as a 14-1 outsider in the Caulfield Cup, she began her partnership with Sydney |
18_40 | jockey Glen Boss. Coming from near last with to go in the 2400-m race, she finished fourth behind |
18_41 | the Lee Freedman-trained Mummify. The first Tuesday in November 2003 was her first Melbourne Cup |
18_42 | victory. Starting as an $8 second favourite, Makybe Diva raced at the back of the field until the |
18_43 | finishing straight, where jockey Boss picked his way through the field to win by lengths. |
18_44 | In the autumn of 2004, she resumed over 1400 m (7 furlongs) carrying 59.5 kg followed by a |
18_45 | third-place finish in the Group 3 Carlyon Cup. Following this, she was blocked when making a |
18_46 | winning run in the Australian Cup before being taken to Sydney, where she placed third in the |
18_47 | Ranvet Stakes and The BMW Stakes, both Group 1 races. The Group 1 Sydney Cup over 3200 m (2 mi) was |
18_48 | to be her final run for the campaign. Sent out as a $3.50 second favourite, she began off the pace, |
18_49 | but ran home to record a win by half a length, becoming the first mare to ever win the Sydney |
18_50 | Cup/Melbourne Cup double in the same season, and only the fourth horse to have accomplished the |
18_51 | double win. |
18_52 | After the 2003–2004 season, trainer David Hall left to train in Hong Kong, and Makybe Diva was |
18_53 | transferred to trainer Lee Freedman, generally regarded as one of Australia's top trainers. |
18_54 | 2004/2005: Six-Year-Old Season (Melbourne Cup 2) |
18_55 | Her campaign in the spring of 2004 was aimed at winning the Melbourne Cup for a second time. It |
18_56 | followed the pattern of her previous cup-winning campaign, though she appeared to be racing better |
18_57 | than before. A close second in the Group 2 John F Feehan Stakes over at Moonee Valley showed her |
18_58 | competitiveness in shorter races. In the 2004 Caulfield Cup, Makybe Diva drew barrier 18 and |
18_59 | settled at the back of the field. She was narrowly defeated by Elvstroem, who led all the way. |
18_60 | Makybe Diva was sent out a $3.60 favourite, and won the 2004 Melbourne Cup. In driving rain, the |
18_61 | mare defeated a field featuring multiple Irish St. Leger winner Vinnie Roe, Caulfield Cup winners |
18_62 | Mummify and Elvstroem, Mamool from the Godolphin stable, and the 2002 Melbourne Cup winner Media |
18_63 | Puzzle. |
18_64 | Resuming racing in February, Makybe Diva put in close finishes behind Elvstroem in both the C F Orr |
18_65 | Stakes and St George Stakes, at Caulfield. On 12 March, she won the Australian Cup, a weight for |
18_66 | age event over , and in the process broke the Australian record and set an unofficial world record |
18_67 | for 2000 m on turf. She proceeded to win Sydney's most important WFA race, the BMW Stakes, with a |
18_68 | last-to-first burst. In April and May, she raced in Japan, where she failed in two starts, the |
