Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate or
Melbourne Cup, said he was under no pressure with Incentivise.
He revealed that he approached
Makybe Diva‘s owner
Tony Santic to train the great mare after her first Melbourne Cup win in 2003. Santic was seeking a new trainer after
David Hall left to train in Hong Kong.
In retrospect, Moody knew he was too green. But not now.
“I asked Tony Santic if could I train Makybe Diva and he decided for an older and more experienced trainer in Freedy (
Lee Freedman) – and rightly so,” he said.
“Hally said to me that training that mare could have destroyed me as much as made me but if Freedy had somehow “failed” with her it wouldn’t have mattered because he had the score on the board.
