Zazzman at the 300 the leader, here comes Vinnie Roe, Elvstroem coming with him and Makybe Diva she's got right up on the inside Makybe Diva she's hit the front now from Vinnie Roe and Zazzman. It's Makybe Diva clear she's out by two lengths to Vinnie Roe. It's Makybe Diva clear and she's going to do what no mare has ever done! Makybe Diva wins it again.
