The clearest sign of that upward curve is his record in top-level races. Hart has won 13 Class 1 races in his career — the very best races British racing has to offer — at famous venues including York, Ascot, and Goodwood. Two of those came in quick succession this summer: York on 28 June 2025, then Goodwood on 1 August 2025. Winning at those tracks, on those occasions, against the best horses in training, is not something that happens by luck. It marks Hart out as a jockey who performs when the stage is biggest.
His most consistent working relationship is with trainer John and Sean Quinn, for whom he has ridden 26 winners from 218 races together — roughly 1 in every 8. That is a steady, reliable partnership rather than a spectacular one, but 218 races together tells you there is genuine trust on both sides. Trainers do not keep putting the same jockey up if they have doubts.
Two smaller details are worth noting because they reveal something about how Hart rides. On very wet, muddy ground — the kind of conditions that separate riders who are comfortable in the mud from those who are not — he has won 3 of just 13 races, a win rate of 23%, or nearly 1 in every 4. Soft ground suits certain horses, but it also exposes jockeys who lack feel for it. Hart clearly has that feel. At Wetherby specifically, he has won 3 races from only 9 rides — a record that any jockey would be pleased with, and one that suggests he knows the track well enough to make it count.
Four years in, 505 winners deep, and with his numbers still climbing — Hart is the kind of jockey who rewards attention right now, before everyone else is paying it.
