There are two ways to look at it. One is to say its a handicap. Dermot Weld has sent 2 ordinary enough horses from Ireland to win it. Americain is no superstar. The other is to say it is a huge festival race with huge prestige in Australia. I think to win it 3 times is a superb achievement.

Actually makes me tear up. Love that horse. Better than pharlap

Thumbs up if you couldn't stop smiling when she past the post all those times.
Just my favourite horse. THE best.

@alexspano1967 Its pretty hard to label a horse that has won 3 Melbourne Cups as overrated.
-
I got into horse racing of this horse she will all ways be my fab horse
-
@alexspano1967 Pharlap has a greater and less deserving reputation than makybe diva
-
She did win 3 Cups, but an overrated horse as far as I'm concerned.
-
Not talking about the sound, but Miles botched the call of the 2nd race and the Diva was in the lead and still wasn't mentioned... Terrible!
-
@fuckyall44 That horse must of been a machine, 43 mph for 2 miles.. that seems too fast, average for 1m is 1:40 - 1:37.. well in england anyway, does the melbourne cup allow the use of lasix?

Makaybe Diva is now the Southern Hemisphere's answer to the great Red Rum...

I hear alot of people dissing Makybe Diva's status as a legend, going on about her losing more races than she won but, honestly, these races right here are what horse racing is all about. The big races, getting it right when it matters most and, in all 3 cups, she just rose out of the pack like a Phoenix from the flames, tearing a big, quality field to absolute shreds. A legend she most definitely is.

G'day mate, please pardon the correction but the maximum field for the Melbourne Cup is 24 runners and it has been that way for some time. Also the record for the cup is 3 mins 16 sec by Kingston Rule. A 2 minute cup would indicate a run of 90 km an hour over 2 miles.
