Blair sitting on 198 wins should pass 200 at Addington Friday

200 wins achieved last night at forbury.

yet another outstanding achievement from possibly the most talented driver  nz has ever seen.

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.

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!

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.

Wonder what Blair's winners total would be if Dexter still driving here.Imagine Blair would still play Second Fiddle.

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.

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!!!

is it a stare??? was think it was a Blair glare 

You are quite correct. Was on to my 5th- 6th pint when I posted that. 

Although I have never been on the receiving end of it, officially it is the glare.
