MR B’s BID FOR FOUR DID YOU KNOW? A fourth Makybe Diva Stakes would put Mr Brightside in rare company among some of racing’s greats who have also claimed victory four times in a single race. Winx famously won four consecutive Cox Plates from 2015 to 2018, as well as four straight George Ryder and Chipping Norton Stakes. Manikato won the Futurity Stakes four times, although not consecutively, and won the William Reid Stakes five years in a row. A fourth Makybe Diva Stakes would give Mr Brightside his own place among that select group – and extend a record that is already his alone.
