Xtreme Diva had previously annexed her debut by 12 1/2 lengths against Minnesota-breds for trainer McLean Robertson Aug. 9 at the Canterbury oval. Stepping into state-bred stakes company Saturday night, the result was pretty much the same, with the dark bay or brown filly trouncing her rivals by 7 3/4 lengths. Taking command at the half-mile pole under jockey Eduardo Gallardo, Xtreme Diva proceeded to distance herself from the rest of the field, racing the six furlongs in a final time of 1:10.89.
Collecting $60,000 for the victory, Xtreme Diva boosted her bankroll to $78,600.
Minnesota-bred Xtreme Diva was sold to owner Xtreme Racing Stables for $35,000 at the 2022 Minnesota Thoroughbred Association Yearling Sale. She is the first stakes winner produced from the Old Topper mare Silly Little Mama.

Coal Front retired in 2020 with earnings of more than $1.8 million. Though he won three graded stakes from 6-6 1/2 furlongs, his finest effort came in his 4-year-old career when he landed the 2019 Godolphin Mile (G2) in Dubai.
The sire of 8 winners to date, Coal Front stood the 2022 breeding season at Spendthrift Farm for a fee of $5,000.
