Great to see Makybe create her own piece of history which has lead me to rate her amongst the best of all time at number 9 no matter what the "sensationalist press" say tomorrow.

1.Phar Lap
2.Tulloch.....(mind you,there is just a struck match between these two IMO).
3.Kingston Town
4.Bernborough
5.Rising Fast
6.Wakeful
7.Peter Pan
8.Manikato
9.Makybe Diva
10.Galilee

was Wakeful a better mare than Makybe Diva? YOU BET.
won the Newmarket and Oakleigh Plate at her first two starts.won the Doncaster later that same season.During the 1902 Sydney Cup carnival she contested four races in 8 days over a total of 12,000m,WINNING THE LOT!
she won from 1100 to 4800m.won 19 races at WFA.ran second in the 1903 Melb' cup carrying 63.5kg
So don't believe every thing you read tomorrow.STAT'S DON'T LIE!!!!!
