Exclusive Diva takes the spotlight in Washington State Legislators Handicap
Bernardini's always consistent daughter Exclusive Diva earned her fourth Stakes victory June 9 in the Washington State Legislators Handicap at Emerald Downs. The four-year-old filly has won or placed in every lifetime start.
In the six-and-one-half-furlong race, Exclusive Diva traveled in third position in the race's early stages. Inside the quarter pole she loomed on the outside to take the lead and sailed in the stretch for an easy score.
A homebred for Northwest Farms LLC, Exclusive Diva is out of G3 winner and G1 Humana Distaff-placed Puxa Saco, by Dehere.
An outstanding young sire, Bernardini has been represented six G1 winners and 10 G1 horses. They include two G1 Travers Stakes winners in Alpha and Stay Thirsty, as well as multiple G1 winner To Honor And Serve. He has sired a total of 21 Stakes winners to date.
