Makybe Diva Stakes
(Craiglee Stakes)
Before 2007, the Makybe Diva Stakes was a well-established WFA event known as the Craiglee Stakes.
First run over 1 ¼ miles at Flemington in the spring of 1948, the inaugural Craiglee Stakes was won by the F. P. Cruttenden & E. A. Underwood owned, Lungi.
The race was so-named in recognition of the long service given by the Chairman of the VRC stipendiary Stewards, Mr Wilfred Henry Johnston whose home at Sunbury was named ‘Craiglee’. Johnston served as Chairman from 1924 to 1945.
In 1965 the distance was shortened to 1 mile and has not changed since, except for the conversion to the metric equivalent (1600m) in 1972.
In 2007 the Craiglee Stakes was renamed the Makybe Diva Stakes in honour of the Champion WFA mare and triple Melbourne Cup winner (2003/04/05), Makybe Diva.
In 2013 the Makybe Diva Stakes was awarded Group 1 status.
Many of our great WFA stars have won the Craiglee Stakes over the years, horses like, Comic Court, Chicquita, Sailor’s Guide, Lord, Light Fingers, Tobin Bronze, Rain Lover, Dual Choice, Dulcify and Northerly, to name a few.
Two horses have won this race on more than one occasion.
Chicquita and Sailor’s Guide both scored successive wins in the Craiglee Stakes with Chicquita winning in 1950/51 and Sailor’s Guide in 1956/57.
The most successful trainer of winners of the Craiglee/Makybe Diva Stakes is the Master himself, Bart Cummings who saddled-up the winner on six occasions:
1965 Light Fingers – 1968 Lowland – 1970 Gay Poss
1975 Tontonan – 1977 Ming Dynasty – 1984 Prolific
Riding honours rest with the great Roy Higgins who piloted the winner on six occasions:
1962 Aquanita – 1964 Sir Dane – 1965 Light Fingers
1968 Lowland – 1970 Gay Poss – 1975 Tontonan.
