Champion Australian racehorse Makybe Diva has died, aged 27.
The three-time Melbourne Cup winner passed away on Saturday morning following a sudden and short battle with colic.
Makybe Diva remains the only horse in history to have won three consecutive Melbourne Cups, which she did between 2003-2005.
In that three-year period of complete dominance, she also won the VRC Queen Elizabeth Stakes, the Sydney Cup, the Australian Cup, the BMW Stakes, the Memsie Stakes, the Turnbull Stakes, and the Cox Plate.
“We will never see another like her 💜,” Australian jockey Craig Newitt said.
