4. Makybe Diva may have won the 2005 Melbourne Cup, but who was the horse that created massive controversy, especially in sweeps, by walking across the line, and making many people think that the horse didn't finish the race and thus didn't come last?

Answer: Franklins Gardens

Franklins Gardens dropped out at the 700m and was almost pulled up by jockey Darryll Holland, but eventually walked across the line. Many thought that the horse didn't complete the course and with a last 600m time of 54.07 seconds and a margin of approximately 99.9, it was hard to think otherwise.
