Hart has retained the drive on the Darren Binskin-trained Cherry Stride in the $200,000 Ladyship Mile (1609m).

In a further boost, Hart has been called up by the Emma Stewart team to drive for the stable in the $200,000 NSW Derby (2400m).

Hart has been given the drive on Fourbigmen, one of five horses Stewart has in the group one feature.

Fourbigmen has drawn gate 11 but will most likely come out of nine.

Hart, who only turned 20 last week, has had two previous group one drives for a fourth in the Blacks A Fake at Albion Park on Ultimate Art and a fifth on Loorrim Creek in the Newcastle Mile earlier this month.

The two group one drives come just days after Hart won the Lexus Of Parramatta Medal for his performances at Menangle over the last 12 months.

Hart, who is fourth on the NSW driver's premiership, was announced as the winner at Menangle last Saturday night, where he got the nod ahead of 11 other monthly winners.

Meantime, Jared Kahlefeldt's pacer Muscle Factory drew gate three in the NSW Derby but is likely to come out of two after the scratchings of emergencies.

Muscle Factory, who won the Victoria Derby last month, ran second in his heat in track record time at Menangle last Saturday night.
