The Race That Stops The Nation
Makybe Diva wins Melbourne Cup
The David Hall trained Makybe Diva has taken out the 143rd Melbourne Cup over 3,200 metres at Flemington.
Makybe Diva, ridden by jockey Glen Boss, won the $4.6 million race from She's Archie and Jardine's Lookout in third.
The race that stops the nation produced another twist this morning when Caulfield Cup winner Mummify was scratched from the race.
Flemington is bursting at the seams with the fine weather helping to attract a massive crowd.
