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.

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
