It’s been a huge week for reinsman Cameron Hart and he backs up today at Bankstown with drives in six of the seven races.
After competing in New Zealand’s biggest races, the NZ Cup and NZ Free-For-All and finishing runner up both times with Majestic Cruiser last week, Hart was at the fore at Menangle on Saturday night.
Hart partnered Madrid to victory in the NSW Breeders Challenge Blue Final.
“I just have to pinch myself sometimes that I get to sit behind these horses,” said Hart.
“I don’t take it for granted at all, I’m just enjoying the ride.”
Madrid was the $1.40 favourite for the $100,000 feature and Hart drove her like one steering her straight to the lead.
“She has been such a great filly and it’s nice to get a Group 1 at the end of her preparation,” said Hart.
“She has been racing well this three-year-old season but just hasn’t been able to crack a Group 1.”

Bankstown best bet
Race 1: Strength Of Heart (5)
Most consistent square gaiter that gets his chance for success.
Bankstown next best
Race 7: Uncle Jay (3)
Can be prominent with stronger form than it appears against tougher opponents.
Around the tracks
Canberra best bet
Race 4: Keilor Baby Shark (4)
Strikes a good race but has the speed to use the front row and should go close.
