   Robert Sangster Stakes (GR1) 

                   (Swettenham Stud Stakes)

                                2025 total prize money: $1,000,000 

                           1st $547,250, 2nd $177,000, 3rd $88,250

The Robert Sangster Stakes was known in the early years as the Swettenham Stud Stakes and was first run at Morphettville over 1200m in February 1983.

It was won that first year by the Colin Little trained Ranee’s Palace who was ridden by Rod Dawkins.

Originally a set weights and penalties race for fillies and mares, the race changed to a WFA event in 1990.

In 2005 the race was awarded Group 1 status and renamed the Robert Sangster Stakes in honour of the late Robert Sangster who had passed-away the previous year. The name change was in keeping with the original name as Robert Sangster owned the famous Swettenham Stud and raced many great gallopers under the Swettenham Stud Syndicate banner. 

The most successful trainer of winners of the Robert Sangster Stakes is Mick Price who has trained the winner on four occasions:

1998 Spirit Of Love – 2004 French Bid

2009 Bel Mer – 2017 Secret Agenda

Riding honours rest with Damien Oliver who has booted home the winner on three occasions:

Makybe Diva Stakes

      Makybe Diva Stakes (GR1)

 

                        (Craiglee Stakes)

                                  2024 total prize money: $750,000 

                             1st $450,000, 2nd $135,000, 3rd $67,500

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.
