10 For more than 160 years, the Melbourne Cup has been Australia’s premier race, with its winners immortalised in sporting history. A victory in the Cup marks both the pinnacle of a jockey or trainer’s career and a moment that resonates far beyond the racetrack. The VRC will add a new chapter to this legacy this year by introducing honorary membership for all Cup-winning jockeys and trainers. This initiative ensures their achievements are forever celebrated as part of Flemington’s story, recognising the men and women who have played a central role in shaping the Cup – from Damien Oliver and Glen Boss to Michelle Payne and the trainers behind some of the race’s most memorable triumphs. “We’re really excited about this announcement. We think it’s special and are delighted to have the opportunity to do this,” said VRC Chairman Neil Wilson. HeroesCup HONOURING THE OF THE VRC Chairman Neil Wilson An honorary member is someone we recognise for their contribution to the club, and in this case, very much to the club but also the greatest race in Australia. BY CELIA PURDEY
11 HEROES OF THE CUP “Trainers and jockeys who have won the Lexus Melbourne Cup will be awarded honorary membership for the rest of their lives.” The honorary membership initiative follows a series of recent tributes. In 2023, the VRC unveiled Honour Boards in The Committee Room foyer, a project dedicated to acknowledging every Melbourne Cup winner since 1861. The boards are more than displays – they are storytellers. With the scan of a QR code, visitors are transported into the narratives of the horses, jockeys, and trainers behind each victory. From triumphs to tales of resilience, each champion’s journey is brought to life in a way that connects past and present.

12 HEROES OF THE CUP Alongside these boards, a specially made head collar is now also presented to each Cup-winning horse, a symbolic keepsake ensuring equine champions leave Flemington with a tangible reminder of their triumph. Together, these elements honour every part of the Cup victory – the horse, the trainer, and the jockey. The boards also pay tribute to the administrators who influenced the race and the club. The VRC’s first Secretary, Robert Cooper Bagot, introduced structure and vision in the 19th century. His successor, Henry Byron Moore, served for 44 years, transforming Flemington into a spectacle with six grandstands, stunning gardens, and numerous innovations. Above: John ‘JJ’ Miller and Galilee spoiled the party in winning the 1966 Melbourne Cup. Roy Higgins and Light Fingers (right) were going for back-to-back Cup victories, finishing second. Below: David Hayes and Wayne Harris combined to guide European import, Jeune, to victory in 1994.
13 HEROES OF THE CUP From early Chairmen like James Blackwood to current leadership under Neil Wilson, these individuals have ensured that the Melbourne Cup and Flemington remain at the forefront of international racing. Extending honorary membership to Cup-winning jockeys and trainers continues this spirit of recognition. Membership at Flemington is a treasured connection, and opening it to those who have reached the race’s peak ensures their names and contributions will always be recognised. Honorary members will receive specially designed cards that reflect the prestige of the Cup and the honour of membership. Their names will also be added to the Honour Boards, allowing racegoers to reflect on their achievements. “There will be a special presentation, which continues from last year when we displayed honour boards showing the winners from the very beginning of the first Melbourne Cup through to last year’s Melbourne Cup, when the words were actually inscribed on the day.” Looking ahead, the VRC’s vision is to respect tradition while embracing innovation. From prizemoney initiatives to enriching the raceday experience, the club continues to evolve whilst honouring the stories of the people and horses that define the Cup. By introducing honorary membership along with the Honour Boards and the Cup-winning horse collar, the VRC ensures that each Cup victory is remembered and celebrated as part of living history – a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present, and an inspiration for the future.

16 Makybe Diva may never have become the household name if not for the purchase of famed mare, Tugela. Croatian-born Port Lincoln tuna fisherman Tony Santic enlisted the services of John Foote Bloodstock to purchase an American-bred broodmare. The mare was in foal to Irish Derby winner Desert King and was knocked down at 60,000 Guineas at the 1998 Tattersall’s December Mare Sale at Newmarket, UK. The resultant filly was offered for sale as a weanling, but failed to attract a bid. Not knowing what to do with the young horse, Santic had her sent to Australia with her mother. The unusual name of the three-time Melbourne Cup winning mare was derived by taking the first two letters from each of the names of employees at Tony’s Tuna, owned by Tony Santic in Port Lincoln at the time – Maureen, Kylie, Belinda, Diane, and Vanessa.

17 MARVELLOUS MAKYBE DIVA Little did they know the impact that name would have on the fabric of Australia’s time-honoured race. After settling in, Makybe Diva was sent to trainer David Hall. She didn’t make her racetrack debut until July 2002 when she finished fourth in a Benalla maiden. People really started to take notice when she won her next six starts, ending with success in the Werribee Cup and the Queen Elizabeth Stakes during the 2002 Melbourne Cup Carnival. Winning the 2002 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (with Luke Currie aboard) automatically qualified the mare for the 2003 Melbourne Cup, so her trainer was able to spend the next 12 months preparing her. It was then that the legend began. It was also the start of the great relationship between Makybe Diva and her champion jockey, Glen Boss. In the 2003 Cup, he brought the mare through the field with an uninterrupted run. In 2004, when she changed stables and joined the Lee Freedman team after Hall accepted an invitation to train in Hong Kong, Boss showed incredible courage to take the rails run on a wet track. And in the last of her memorable Cup wins in 2005, he had her perfectly placed throughout. The jockey has admitted that he can still become emotional when his favourite racehorse is mentioned. The Makybe Diva period of his life not only changed him, but brought so much enjoyment to his family. “She took me to world notoriety by winning three Melbourne Cups, and she clearly gave me the greatest thrills I have experienced on a racetrack. “From the first time I was legged aboard her until I slipped off her for the final time after winning that last Melbourne Cup, she was the ultimate professional that refused to give in,” he said. LEGEND STATUS: Glen Boss and Makybe Diva create history achieving the first three-peat in the 2005 Melbourne Cup. (Ryan Pierse/Getty Images) “...a champion becomes a legend!” Trainer Lee Freedman Go and find the smallest child on this course, because there will be an example of the only person here that will live long enough to see something like that again.
18 MARVELLOUS MAKYBE DIVA Boss believes that Makybe Diva’s bravery and determination mixed with her untold talent made for one of the greatest racehorses of her time. “This was a racehorse not only of immense ability, but a beautiful nature who just wanted to please you,” he recalled. Hours after her third Melbourne Cup, it was announced that Makybe Diva would be retired from racing. She finished with a record of 36 starts for 15 wins, four seconds, three thirds and $14,526,685 in prizemoney. Makybe Diva is arguably the best stayer to have won the Lexus Melbourne Cup. There have been many who would fall into that bracket for discussion including the likes of Phar Lap (1930) and Carbine (1890) but for one horse to find a way to win three Melbourne Cups is something extraordinary. Archer (1861-62), Peter Pan (1932 and 1934), Rain Lover (1968-69) and Think Big (1974-75) are the only other horses to win multiple Melbourne Cups. Afforded the luxury of three consecutive ten-out-of ten rides by Australian Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Glen Boss, Makybe Diva broke all records along the way. She was the only horse to win the Cup three times and the greatest weight carrier for a mare in the history of the race. Eleven individual mares have won the Melbourne Cup dating as far back as Acrasia (1904). Of those eleven, Empire Rose (1988, 53.5kg) was the highest weight carried until Makybe Diva came along. In the second (2004) of her three Cup victories, Makybe Diva would successfully break Empire Rose’s record, carrying 55kg to victory. This would ultimately be broken the following year when she carried 58kg to win in extraordinary circumstances. As legendary racecaller Greg Miles famously said, “a champion becomes a legend!” Unusually, Makybe Diva would win by 1¼ lengths in each of her three Cup victories.

MARVELLOUS MAKYBE DIVA Makybe Diva was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2006 and later elevated to Legend status in 2010. After several years at stud, she has enjoyed a life nurturing the next generation. In 2007, following her extraordinary feats of 2003-2005, the VRC Committee renamed the Craiglee Stakes, a weight-for-age event over 1600 metres, in the mare’s honour. The race achieved Group 1 status in 2013. Of her eight foals to race, six have been winners. She retired from motherhood in 2020 and is yet to leave progeny anywhere near the same class as herself but, if history follows form, watch out for progeny from her daughters. Genetics is an inexact science and stellar performers can often skip a generation. In 2020, Makybe Diva was on course parading before the running of the 2020 Lexus Melbourne Cup with her owner Tony Santic and jockey Glen Boss, leading her around the Flemington mounting yard. The only thing missing was her adoring fans as no patrons were permitted on course due to the pandemic. Now aged 26, Makybe Diva enjoys retirement at Makybe Racing & Breeding in Gnarwarre, just west of Geelong in Victoria, founded by her owner, Tony Santic.
