A Wonderful Race Mare

The interesting thing about Makybe Diva(GB) is that she was born and raised in England as the suffix after her name indicates. Her owner even tried to sell her here at Tattersalls Sales in Newmarket but was unable to get his price so he shipped her to Australia.

A question now for the Aussie board members. I can think of five winners of the Melbourne Cup in the last 25 years who were born and then raced in Europe...Name Them
