'''Trivalve '''(1924−1941) was an Australian race horse that won the 1927 [[Melbourne Cup]].
==Racing career==
In 1927 Trivalve was successful in the [[AJC Derby]], [[Victoria Derby]] and the [[Melbourne Cup]]. The win in the Cup gave trainer [[James Scobie (horseman)|James Scobie]] and jockey [[Robert Lewis (jockey)|Bobbie Lewis]] their fourth Melbourne Cup successes.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.races.com.au/melbourne-cup/melbourne-cup-history/past-winners/1921-to-1930-melbourne-cup/ |title= Past winners 1921 to 1930 Melbourne Cup |publisher=races.com.au |accessdate=3 September 2021}}</ref> Trivalve won career prize money of £28,375.<ref name=":0">{{Citation |title=North of Twenty-Eight |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/233609535 |journal=The Bulletin |volume=62 |issue=3202 |pages=33 |publication-date=1941-06-25 |publisher=John Haynes and J.F.

==Stud career==
Trivalve was retired to stud but proved an unsuccessful sire failing to sire any stakes winners. Trivalve was eventually sold on as a station sire and reportedly died of snakebite in the [[Northern Territory]] in 1941, having been sold twice that year for 7 guineas and 9 guineas.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.kingsoftheturf.com/1927-ernest-clarke-trivalve-the-melton-stud/ |title=1927 Ernest Clarke Trivalve The Melton Stud |date=19 March 2018 |publisher=kingsoftheturf.com |accessdate=3 September 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=6 December 1952 |title=Sport Shorts |volume=23 |page=7 |newspaper=Saturday Evening Express |issue=42 |location=Tasmania, Australia |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article265089981 |via=National Library of Australia |accessdate=7 March 2022}}</ref>
