Has there ever been a better judge of pace? Whether it be a non win race at forbury or the nz cup, Orange continues to perform at the highest possible level. 1 Quote

Brodie Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Wasn’t there another driver that dominated the premiership for a helluva long time who went by the name of Dexter Dunn? Both very talented reinsman and very difficult to compare different decades as there were drivers like Maurice Holmes! 1 Quote

the galah Posted June 28, 2019 Author Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) If you look at Blair Oranges success this season, what I think is noticeable is he does it all on his own and does not have drivers from the same stable in a race driving to assist him. Only maybe N McGrath may do that,but even that's probably only in a handful of races. The house stable has provided him with multiple winners,along with the likes of the barrons, mcgraths and courts. Personally, from my observations, I believe operation Inca has correctly identified dishonest practices within the industry that those involved should be penalized for. I find it ironic that orange is caught up in that, given I think he gives punters so much confidence in his intent when you watch him drive. Edited June 28, 2019 by the galah 1 Quote
Taupiri Wonder Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 Wonder what Blair's winners total would be if Dexter still driving here.Imagine Blair would still play Second Fiddle. Quote

Orange drove 18 more winners than Dunn in 2018 and Orange had 123 more drives.. So not much between them but Orange won fair and square in 2018. 2 Quote

So not much between them but Orange won fair and square in 2018. He won because Blair had the House drives at Manawatu that Dexter previously had. No point comparing as both extraordinary drivers for their era. Dexter has quickly become one of the very best in the U.S. however still extremely boring racing over the mile over there!!! 1 Quote
