Dont Care, driven by Alex Ashwood, defied his $17.50 starting price, to finish a conspicuous second behind the Chris Svanosio-trained and driven Watts Up Majestic in the $100,000 Group 1 feature.

A promising performance earned connections a handy $16,000 prize cheque.

For Hargreaves, it was a high-point in her blossoming training career, which has gathered substantial momentum in the past 12 months.

"I've had Group 1 runners before but they just sort of made up the numbers - I've never really had a horse that had a serious chance," she said.

"The way he went Saturday night, he sat in the death and ran second, it was a massive achievement.

"Alex and I have always had a big opinion of him, but things hadn't really gone his way this time in.

"He's been knocked over a few times, galloped and then we couldn't get him trotting right for a couple of starts.

"He's had his hiccups along the way, but on his work at home, he's worked with Well Defined, so we've always known the ability is there, he just needed a chance to prove it.

"When he won his (Breeders Crown) heat I thought people might not take a bit of notice, but he still wasn't one of the fancied runners in the race.

"Even though he wasn't, we went into the race confident and knew that the ability was there."

Hargreaves, who sits sixth in the Victorian trainer's premiership standings with 92 winners, said the Vicbred Series would be a definite aim for Dont Care, who has won two of eight lifetime starts, including on debut at Kilmore back in May, and been placed twice for earnings of nearly $28,000.

A solid return on Breeders Cup weekend for the Hargreaves-Ashwood team included an ultra-pleasing fourth behind Gus An Maori in Friday night's Group 2 trotters free-for-all with Well Defined.

"I think he's getting better and better each start now and has proven he's taken that next step and can hold his own against the open class trotters," Hargreaves said.

"I'm really rapt with him."

Meanwhile, Watts Up Majestic's victory delivered former Bendigo trainer-driver Chris Svanosio one of his career highlights.

The two-year-old Majestic Son gelding was sent south by trainer Rickie Alchin for a tilt at the Breeders Crown and has been in Svanosio's care for just a short time for a second in the heats on November 12 and a win in Saturday night's final.

He admitted to a few nervous moments during the race.

"It wasn't ideal when the leader galloped down the back, but I was lucky enough to keep trotting and sneak through on the inside and he was travelling pretty good after that," he said.

"Rickie Alchin sent him down here and he would have been training him it wasn't for the travel restrictions. We're just looking after him for Rickie and the owner.

"He's a lovely horse to have turn up and to win the two-year-old trotters Breeders Crown is fantastic.

"These are the days you wants to be competing, it;s great to win one and win it in style with a nice little trotter."
