Jason Hart

The headline figures are impressive enough, but the top-level wins are what really tell the story. Hart has now won 13 Class 1 races across his career — the biggest, most prestigious races in Britain — at venues including Ascot, York, and Goodwood. Two of those came in the summer of 2025 alone: York at the end of June, then Goodwood in early August. These are the occasions that separate good jockeys from genuinely important ones, and Hart has shown he can deliver when the stage is at its most demanding.

With 516 career winners banked since he began riding in 2021, Hart has built his reputation steadily rather than in a blaze of early publicity. His most consistent partnership is with trainer John and Sean Quinn, where he has ridden 24 winners from 213 races together — winning at 11%, or roughly 1 in 9, which is a solid and trusted working relationship in a sport where jockey-trainer chemistry matters enormously.

There are two other details worth highlighting for anyone trying to understand what makes Hart tick as a rider. First, he thrives in the wet. On heavy, muddy ground — the kind of racing day that sends casual fans indoors — he has won 3 from 13 races, a remarkable 23% win rate, or nearly 1 in every 4 rides. Wet weather, it seems, suits him just fine. Second, Wetherby is something of a happy hunting ground, where he has turned 3 winners from just 6 runners. Half a dozen rides, half a dozen chances, three winners — that is the kind of record that makes trainers pick up the phone.

Hart is in his mid-twenties in career terms, still building, and clearly on an upward curve. The big-race wins are coming more regularly, the win rate is climbing, and the best may well be ahead of him.
