Champion Mare Makybe Diva found a special place in all of our hearts throughout her amazing record breaking & action packed racing career.
On Tuesday 13th of August 2002 a very small crowd at Wangaratta racecourse in Victoria witnessed Makybe Diva win her very first race in the 3YO+ Maiden over 1600m on a heavy track defeating her rivals by 2.8 lengths.
What they didn't know was that they had also just witnessed a champion in the making!
From her very first win on Tuesday 13th of August 2002 Makybe Diva claimed that as her "Name Day" by winning the next 3 consecutive running's of the world famous Melbourne Cup run on the first Tuesday of each November.
Makybe Diva was a wonder mare winning almost every prestigious group race on the Australian calendar, Sydney Cup, Australian Cup, BMW Classic, Cox Plate, Turnbull Stakes, Memsie Stakes, Queen Elizabeth Stakes & of course the 3 consecutive Melbourne Cups.
This brilliant officially licensed limited edition is dedicated to Makybe Diva's entire racing career and a tribute to the "People's Champion" which is a tag given to very view race horses in the history of Australian Racing.
Authentic Makybe Diva mini silks are centred in this piece with great photographs that capture two of the greatest moments in Makybe Diva's career.
The right showing the mighty Mare as she quickly puts pay to her rivals in the running of the 2005 Melbourne Cup.
The old famous saying is that " A picture tells a thousand words " which is exactly that for the photograph used in the left showing Makybe Diva, Glen Boss, Tony Santic and the Clerk of the course coming back to scale after winning the 2005 Cox Plate.
This photograph shows the emotions spilling over as Makybe Diva struts back with Glen, Tony, Clerk and the massive crowd in the back ground all of which have the "Diva Cox Plate face Masks" on.
Glen Boss saluting the crowd, Tony Santic congratulating his wonderful mare & Makybe Diva taking it all in from the roar of the crowd.
