Melbourne Cup Winners

Since the first running of the Melbourne Cup in 1861 there have been over 150 winners of Australia’s premier horse race.

Some of Australia’s greatest race horses have run and won the Melbourne Cup including Phar Lap, Carbine and Might And Power. In it’s long history the Melbourne Cup has been won twice by four horses; Archer (1861 & 1862), Peter Pan (1932 & 1934), Rain Lover (1968 & 1969) and Think Big (1974 & 1975). However the greatest winner of the Melbourne Cup has to be super mare Makybe Diva who won the Melbourne Cup a record three years in a row from 2003 – 2005. She began one of the shortest price favourites in the melbourne cup betting markets over the history of the race.
