MELBOURNE: Makybe Diva, brilliantly ridden by Glen Boss, won the 145th running of the Melbourne Cup yesterday to become the first horse to triumph three times in Australia's greatest race.
The seven-year-old mare enhanced her reputation as one of the country's greatest racehorses with a barn-storming finish in the gruelling A$5 million (RM14.5mil) 3,200-metre handicap at Flemington.
