Ladies In Red ($2.10) stretched her unbeaten run to seven in the group 1 $300,000 Breeders Crown 2yo pacing fillies final, 2240m, at Melton on Saturday night.
The performance reinforced she is something special, with her having to sit outside leader and stablemate Tough Tilly ($2 favourite) before grinding to victory in 1:54.5.
Her driver David Moran said Ladies In Red was "really good".
"She's got that x-factor and she's got the speed and will to win. She's a terrific little filly."
Ladies In Red is a full sister to Victoria Derby winner Our Little General, which also won the Breeders Crown as a two-year-old..
Ladies In Red completed a treble for Stewart, which included the $50,000 Breeders Crown 4yo entires/geldings Championship with Hurricane Harley ($5) and group 1 $40,000 Breeders Crown 3yo Trotting colts/geldings Final, with the unbeaten Cover Of Darkness ($3.70 favourite).
Stewart's partner Clayton Tonkin wrapped up a massive night for their Cardigan stable when Major Moth ($1.80 favourite) took out the group 1 $300,000 Breeders Crown 2yo colts/geldings final.
Neighbouring trainers Anton Golino and Jack MacKinnon also had a big two-day Breeders Crown Carnival at Melton - winning the group 2 $30,000 4yo trotting 4yo entires/geldings final and group 1 3yo trotting fillies' final with Im Ready Jet ($2.40 favourite). Im Ready Jet also won the Breeders Crown as a two-year-old last season.
