Aidan O'Brien heaped praise on Albert Einstein at a Ballydoyle press morning on Monday and described the unbeaten Wootton Bassett colt as his number one hope heading into the new season. Albert Einstein is a general 7-1 favourite for the 2,000 Guineas. He also holds a Derby entry, for which he is a best-priced 20-1 shot. However, O'Brien acknowledged that Albert Einstein, who has recorded both of his wins over six furlongs, is not certain to stay a mile. O'Brien said, “The number one at the moment is Albert – he's done very well physically. He's big and powerful and very rapid. We won't know if he's going to get the mile until we do it. The stride people, the heart people, the pedigree people, everyone says that he will get a mile, but he's a very quick thinker.” The master of Ballydoyle added, “He's rapid to do anything. He's quick to leave the stalls and very quick into his stride. We're not going to know and we're not going to search to find out [if he'll stay a mile or not] because we don't want to wake him up too much. We're going to train him asleep and see what's going to happen.” Albert Einstein is part of a trio of Ballydoyle-trained colts who have Classic targets this spring. O'Brien continued, “The other horse is Puerto Rico and the other horse after that is Gstaad, and we all know what he's done. At the moment, the three of them are being trained for the Guineas. I'd imagine one of them will go to France and then hopefully come back to the Curragh. “With the way the ground is at the moment, I'd imagine they'd all go straight there. Listening to the lads, I think two will go to Newmarket and one will go to France and then the Curragh – I think that's what they're thinking. “Albert is the main horse. When we started working him in the spring of his two-year-old career, we thought all the two-year-olds were no good and we thought he was the only horse we had. “He was that much above everything else, it was unusual. He had his two runs and won his maiden very easily, it was a six-furlong race and he was keen enough, he was rapid through the race and the second (Power Blue) won a Group 1 after. Then he had the mishap, he doesn't look big but he's powerful, he's wide and strong.” O'Brien added, “He picked up a little fracture at the Curragh. He was so far ahead of the other two-year-olds at the start it wasn't funny. He's unbelievably quick. Everyone is telling us he'll stay, but it's whether he can get down and relax. We're training him without looking at him, he'll go to the Guineas without having come off the bridle.” The post O’Brien: ‘Albert Einstein Will Go To The Guineas Without Having Come Off The Bridle At Home’ appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The new inside track at Awapuni was being seeded 10 years ago, and now gone. The cost of $280,000 not insignificant. They appear to be consistent in poor due diligence, talking up their current project like it's the next best thing, treating cost as irrelevant, using the surface before properly consolidated and discarding and moving onto the next bigger and better project with even more experts onboard. -

Still on a high after the birth of his first child and a purple patch in the saddle, Andrea Atzeni is dreaming of an upset win aboard Top Dragon in Sunday’s BMW Hong Kong Derby (2,000m) at Sha Tin. Victory in the city’s most prized race would cap a whirlwind couple of weeks for the Sardinian jockey, who became a father just hours after celebrating his best winning haul in Hong Kong – a four-timer at Sha Tin on March 8. Atzeni revealed he almost missed the Sha Tin meeting after his fiancée Emma’s...View the full article -
Jim Tomkinson was my hero from that era. He mixed every feed too, but there again he only ever had 8 or 10 in work. Bought them all [or most of them ] himself for his very select clientele. Jim wouldn't train a horse for me when I asked, but I loved going around on a Sunday morning and discussing what happened over in Sydney and Melbourne the previous day. He was the best. -

Ah, my sincere apologies! I completely misinterpreted your question and went down the fruit aisle instead of the paint aisle. That's a fascinating and subtle question. Let's correct course and dive deep into the distinction between the **color orange** and the **color tangerine**. While they are close relatives on the color wheel, they have distinct personalities. The difference boils down to a fundamental color property: **tone**. Here is a detailed breakdown of the color orange vs. the color tangerine. | Feature | The Color Orange | The Color Tangerine | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Color Family** | A primary color in pigment, a secondary color in light. | A tertiary color, a specific shade *within* the orange family. | | **Primary Hue** | A balanced, pure mix of red and yellow. | Leans significantly more towards **yellow** than red. | | **Tone/Value** | Can range widely from light to dark, but the "pure" orange is a mid-tone. | Inherently **bright, light, and vivid**. It's a high-energy, saturated color. | | **Associations** | Warmth, energy, caution, autumn, fire. | Zest, freshness, sweetness, tropical fruit, summer, vitality. | ### 🎨 The Deep Dive: Understanding the Nuance To truly see the difference, we need to look at the specific ingredients that make up the color. **The Foundation: What is Orange?** In the world of light (RGB), orange is a secondary color, created by combining pure red and pure green light. In the world of pigment (like paint or printing), it's made by mixing red and yellow. The "web color" or purest digital representation of orange is a specific point on the color spectrum. It's bold and warm, but it can sometimes feel a bit flat or even aggressive in its purest form. **The Variation: What is Tangerine?** Tangerine takes the basic formula for orange and modifies it. It's essentially a **yellow-orange**. By adding more yellow, the color becomes: - **Lighter:** It has a higher value or luminance than a pure, mid-tone orange. - **Brighter:** The addition of yellow gives it a more radiant, almost glowing quality. It's less "earthy" and more "electric." - **Less Red:** It loses the potential "warmth" or slight aggressiveness that red can bring and becomes more cheerful and zesty. ### 👁️ How to Tell Them Apart If you're looking at two swatches side-by-side, here are the best ways to spot the difference: 1. **The Color Wheel Test:** On a standard color wheel, find pure orange. Tangerine will be located in the space **between that pure orange and pure yellow**. It's closer to yellow than to red. 2. **The Red Test:** Ask yourself, "Does this color have a noticeable amount of red in it?" - **Orange:** A pure orange has a balanced red component. It's a true, unwavering orange. Think of a safety cone or a pumpkin. - **Tangerine:** The red is dialed back. It's a much "cleaner," less complex color. Think of the vibrant, glossy skin of the fruit it's named after. 3. **The Comparison Test:** Compare them to other familiar shades. - Tangerine is lighter and more yellow than a standard **orange**. - Tangerine is lighter and less red than **vermilion** or **red-orange**. - Tangerine is brighter and more yellow than **burnt orange** (which has brown/red tones) or **coral** (which has pink tones). ### 💻 The Digital Difference (RGB & Hex Codes) In the digital world, the difference is precise. These values represent one common interpretation of each color. - **Pure Orange (web color):** - **Hex:** #FFA500 - **RGB:** (255, 165, 0) - *Full red, a good amount of green (which makes yellow), and no blue.* - **Tangerine (a common web representation):** - **Hex:** #F28500 - **RGB:** (242, 133, 0) - *A very high amount of red, but slightly less than pure orange. The key is the green value is lower, which shifts the mix away from a pure yellow and gives it its specific hue. A brighter tangerine might have Hex: #FF9E0D, which has a higher green value, making it more yellow.* So, in summary: if orange is the whole family, tangerine is the cheerful, sunnier, and more yellow-leaning cousin. It's orange with the volume turned up on brightness and yellow. I hope this vibrant explanation is more like the color you were looking for!
