Maldivian (foaled 20 October 2002) was a New Zealand bred Thoroughbred racemare, trained by Mark Kavanagh, who is notable for winning the 2008 Cox Plate and two other Group 1 races.
Sir Patrick & Lady Justine Hogan bred Maldivian from the American mare Shynzi, by the leading sire Zabeel. He was exported to Australia in April 2004. [1]
Notable performances by Maldivian include: [2]
Maldivian was the short priced favourite in the 2007 Caulfield Cup but was a late-scratching due to badly gashing his head in the barrier stalls. [8] [9]
Maldivian was retired from racing after a tendon injury he picked up during trackwork. He spent his remaining years at Cityview Farm in Victoria. [10]
Maldivian died in July 2021. [11]
