You've got it, Travelling Dilberries, over to you
Makybe Diva (foaled 21 March 1999) is a British-bred, Australian-trained Thoroughbred racehorse who became the first horse to win the Melbourne Cup on three occasions (2003, 2004, and 2005). In 2005, she also won the Cox Plate.[3] Upon her retirement from racing in November 2005, Makybe Diva was the highest stakes-earner in Australian horse racing history, finishing with winnings of more than A$14 million. She is one of only five horses to have won the Cup more than once, and the only mare among the list of multiple winners. She is also one of only 14 female horses (11 mares and three fillies) to have won the Cup. (source: Wikipedia)
(ballast2, Makybe is a bay, Camilla would be a grey :D)

You would know him but he looks so different with hair and now he wears glasses. OK some clues, first some interesting facts he has 6 Christian names, he was born in Sweden to Polish parents, his mother was Jewish and his father was a Gentile, both his parents were Holocaust survivors. His father, was turned in to the Gestapo for smuggling Jews out of Poland and was imprisoned at Sachsenhausen, a concentration camp used mainly for political prisoners. As the end of World war II approached, his father avoided execution by swapping identities with a dead person. His Mother escaped the Auschwitz concentration camp when the Nazis ran out of Zyklon B used to gas prisoners. They separately fled to Sweden, where they met, and where our man was later born. OK that was the interesting facts now the clues our man who is a medical doctor features on radio and is known to be a science and physics Geek and he is not Adam Spencer but he is an associate of his.

Karl KruszelnickiAM (born Karl Sven Woytek Sas Konkovitch Matthew Kruszelnicki; 1948), often referred to as "Dr Karl",[2] is an Australian science communicator and popularizer,[2] who is known as an author, and as a science commentator on Australian radio and television. Kruszelnicki is the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow in the Science Foundation for Physics at the School of Physics, University of Sydney.[
Early life
Kruszelnicki (Polish pronunciation: [krulitski]) was born in Helsingborg, Sweden,[when?] to Polish parents, Rina and Ludwick. Kruszelnicki's background was hidden from him for a long time, with his mother having told him that she was Swedish and a Lutheran but she was, in fact, Polish and Jewish.[1] Both his parents were Holocaust survivors.[4] His father Ludwick, a Polish Gentile, was turned in to the Gestapo for smuggling Jews out of Poland and was imprisoned at Sachsenhausen, a concentration camp used mainly for political prisoners. As the end of World War II approached, Ludwick avoided execution by swapping identities with a dead person.[5] Rina escaped the Auschwitz concentration camp when the Nazis ran out of Zyklon B used to gas prisoners.[5] They separately fled to Sweden, where they met, and where Karl was later born.[5]
When Kruszelnicki was two years old, his parents became concerned about the risk of Sweden being overrun by Russia and decided to flee the country. Before boarding a boat bound for America, Karl became ill with fever following a smallpox vaccination. Worried for his health, his parents decided not to board the boat. "Luck has it that the next ship went to Australia, so that is where we ended up. It is amazing how fate can take you in unexpected directions."[6]
On arrival in Australia, the family were tenanted at the migrant camp in Bonegilla, Victoria. They remained here for three years[7] before settling in the city of Wollongong, New South Wales. Kruszelnicki talks of his childhood as a refugee in Wollongong as being difficult, and of desperately trying to fit in. "We weren't particularly liked and I got bullied at school a lot. Anybody who was not an Irish Catholic was considered an outsider."[6] He found an escape in the Wollongong Library and his quest for knowledge began. "I got into science fiction and funny stuff like that. And the librarians looked after me."[8]
