18_69 | latter of which was over in the Group One Tenno Sho (Emperor's Cup). |
18_70 | Makybe Diva was named Australian Champion Racehorse of the Year for the 2004/05 season. Along with |
18_71 | this, she was also named Australian Champion Stayer and Australian Champion Filly and Mare. A |
18_72 | three-quarter brother to Makybe Diva, by Redoute's Choice, was sold in April 2005 for an Australian |
18_73 | record price of $2.5 million. Subsequently, named Musket, the colt won his debut at Canterbury in |
18_74 | August 2006, and in 2008 won the Gr.2 Shannon Stakes at Rosehill. |

18_76 | Resuming racing in August 2005, Makybe Diva won the Group 2 Memsie Stakes first up, before being |
18_77 | defeated by a nose in the Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes at Moonee Valley. Two weeks later, with a run |
18_78 | down the outside of the field, Makybe Diva won the Turnbull Stakes over 2,000 m at Flemington. The |
18_79 | mare further enhanced her reputation despite being eight horses wide on the home turn, with a |
18_80 | comfortable victory in the 2005 Cox Plate, subsequently beating 2006 winner Fields of Omagh. |
18_81 | Prior to the Melbourne Cup, whether Makybe Diva would start was in doubt, after her connections |
18_82 | said she would not run if the track was "too firm". After the VRC decided to water the track, |
18_83 | however, she was declared a starter. On 1 November 2005, she made history in winning a record third |
18_84 | Melbourne Cup. Settling towards the back of the field, she steadily made ground between runners |
18_85 | around the home turn, before hitting the lead with around 300 m to go and holding a comfortable |
18_86 | 1-1/4-length margin at the finish. Immediately after the race, trainer Lee Freedman said: |
18_87 | The win was not without controversy, however. Many, including rival trainers, suggested the track |
18_88 | watering amounted to bad sportsmanship employed to give Makybe Diva the best chance to win the |
18_89 | race. However, the track condition was upgraded to good straight after the Cup, and the winning |
18_90 | time of 3:19.18 was consistent with that rating. |
18_91 | Makybe Diva carried 58 kg during the record third Melbourne Cup, 0.5 kg above the weight-for-age |
18_92 | scale for a mare in a 3200m race. The last horse to carry more than weight-for-age and win was Rain |
18_93 | Lover, who was 1 kg over when he won his second cup in 1969, with 60.5 kg. In 2005, Makybe Diva |
18_94 | broke her own weight-carrying record for a mare of 55.5 kg, which she set in 2004, and became the |
18_95 | highest-weighted winner of the Cup since Think Big won his second Melbourne Cup with 58.5 kg in |
18_96 | 1975. During the presentation of the Melbourne Cup, owner Tony Šantić announced that Makybe Diva |
18_97 | would "retire from racing as of today". |
18_98 | At the end of the 2005–06 season, Makybe Diva was named Australian Champion Racehorse of the Year |
18_99 | for the second time, becoming just the third horse to win that accolade more than once. She was |
18_100 | also named Australian Champion Stayer, winning this award for the third consecutive year, as well |
18_101 | as Australian Champion Middle Distance Racehorse. |
18_102 | Breeding career |
18_103 | On 10 August 2006, it was announced that Makybe Diva would be served by Epsom Derby winner Galileo |
18_104 | at Coolmore Stud. |
18_105 | At 3:16 on the morning of 17 August 2007, AEST time, Makybe Diva gave birth to her first foal, |
18_106 | named Rockstardom, at Coolmore Stud in the Hunter Valley of NSW. Sold for AU$1.5 million as a |
18_107 | yearling in 2009, he won two races in 12 starts, earning $26,115 over three years. Rockstardom was |
18_108 | gelded and died of a skull fracture in his stall at C. Waller's stables on 26 July 2013. |
18_109 | Makybe Diva was due to be served by Encosta De Lago in the spring of 2007 until the outbreak of |
18_110 | equine influenza forced the stud to be quarantined. Owner Tony Šantić sent the Diva to American |
18_111 | champion Fusaichi Pegasus, instead. On 20 August 2008, Makybe gave birth to her second foal, a |
18_112 | filly by the aforementioned Fusaichi Pegasus. This filly, later named La Dolce Diva, sold at |
18_113 | auction for $1.2 million to trainer Mark Kavanagh of Melbourne. Makybe Diva had a colt on 28 August |
18_114 | 2009 by Encosta De Lago and was covered by More Than Ready for the 2010 season, but she did not |
18_115 | produce a foal in 2010. |
18_116 | Makybe Diva gave birth to her fourth foal, a bay colt by Lonhro, on 16 August 2011 in Victoria. Her |
18_117 | fifth foal, born in September 2012, is a colt sired by High Chaparral. |
18_118 | Awards |
18_119 | In 2006, the inaugural Spirit of Sport Award (for 2005) was given to Makybe Diva and her |
18_120 | connections (Lee Freedman, Tony Šantić, and Glen Boss) by the Sport Australia Hall of Fame for her |
18_121 | three successive Melbourne Cups. Spirit of Sport Award site |

18_125 | bronze statue was also erected on the foreshore in Šantić's home town of Port Lincoln, South |
18_126 | Australia. |
18_127 | Makybe Diva headed the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities ratings for the 2005-06 |
18_128 | official end-of-season assessment. She was given a rating of 124, ahead of Electrocutionist, David |
18_129 | Junior. and Heart's Cry on 123. At a ceremony in Melbourne on 5 September 2010, held in conjunction |
18_130 | with the Australian Horse of the Year awards, Makybe Diva was officially inducted into the |
18_131 | Australian Racing Hall of Fame. |
18_132 | Race Record
Pedigree |
18_133 | Makybe Diva is inbred 4 × 4 x 4 to the stallion Northern Dancer, meaning that Northern Dancer |
18_134 | appears three times in the fourth generation of her pedigree. In turn, this means she has six |
18_135 | great-great-grandsires instead of eight. |
