6 CUP by CUP How she did it 2003 Having demonstrated her talent as a four- year-old with six consecutive wins, Makybe Diva was a strong contender for the 2003 Melbourne Cup. In front of a record crowd of 122,736, Glen Boss who had become her regular partner in victory, rode her patiently, picking his way through the field from the back before making a charge with 200m to go, holding off She’s Archie to win by 1.3 lengths carrying 51kg. 2004 Under Lee Freedman, Makybe Diva’s win in the Sydney Cup and second place in the Caulfield Cup had many believing she could be the first mare to win the Melbourne Cup twice. At a rain-soaked Flemington, Boss again rode her close to the rail and placed back in the field, flashing home to win in the last few hundred metres, edging out Vinnie Roe and again winning by 1.3 lengths, with a weight of 55.5kg.
