New Stakes-Winner for Diva Family

Tara Madgwick - Sunday April 10
Rated a Breednet 'One to Watch' when breaking her maiden at Morphettville in April last year, well-bred Bernardini (USA) filly C'Est Beau La Vie finally delivered on her potential when winning the Listed SAJC Laelia Stakes on Saturday.

Prepared by Leon Macdonald and Andrew Gluyas, C'est Beau La Vie has been in hot form and has now three of her past four starts scoring a three-quarter length victory in the 1600 metre feature over talented dead-heaters Comprende (I Am Invincible) and Sailing By (Fastnet Rock).

A $170,000 Inglis Easter purchase for her trainer from the Milburn Creek draft, C'Est Beau La Vie has won four of 12 starts and is in great shape heading into the Adelaide Carnival.

Bred by Makybe, C'Est Beau La Vie is a half-sister to stakes-winner Wales being the fourth winner from four to race from Group III winner Valkyrie Diva.

A Group III winner of the MVRC Tesio Stakes, Valkyrie Diva might have been a lot less successful on the racetrack than her Australian Horse of the Year half-sister and triple Melbourne Cup winner Makybe Diva, but as a broodmare she has her comfortably covered!

Valkyrie Diva produced a filly by Starspangledbanner last spring and is now in foal to Zoustar.

C'Est Beau La Vie is the 46th stakes-winner worldwide for Darley shuttler Bernardini, who covered just 36 mares in Australia last year.
