Our best cable racing driver complains not to be in two places at the same time.
Blair Orange had to do without his trips in Alexandra Park this evening after this meeting was postponed on Thursday because of the Auckland weather, with Orange flown to Auckland at the time of announcing.
Instead, he will drive at the Addington Day meeting today.
“There is not much what you can do against mother nature, so I went to Auckland and came back and will instead drive in Addington on Saturday,” says Orange.
This means that the trip without it is missing in a five-style field for the Oaks Prelude in the park, but he has a full book in Addington for the Racing Rewards meeting with the increased inserts for the lower horses.
“They are great missions for some of these lower horses, but also challenging races to win because of the huge fields,” says Orange.
While these huge fields offer the spuns a lot of value for chase, it is the smallest field of the night that gives orange one of its most fascinating drives.
“I drove Blacklaz to win the last start and it was really good,” says Orange.
“And I think this victory has improved him because it has jumped out of the ground since then.

Also in a smaller area, but with a real class is Orange's Drive in today's handicap pace function, Harrison John (R8, No. 6).
The NZ Derby Placetgetter last December in December returned 1: 52.8 miles, but is faced with the proven Cup Pacers Beach Ball and Dalton Shard before its first start.
“I think he will go well with the stand because he is a nice pacemaker and has a touch of lessons.
“It has to be tough to beat, but that can be tough races because they are all nice horses.”
Orange has a number of practical drives in the 30,000 dollar racing voltage races, including three for coach Michael House, but chose Paris Prince (R11. No. 16) as one of his better hopes.
“He's one of my best chances, but it can be tough to be tough from a handicap in such a huge field, so we have to hope to bring the right car into the race, but it races really well.”
One of the deeper fields of the day is the last one in which Orange Five Crown against treacherous baby and Hadron Collider partner partner.
Five crowns have dragged on in the other couple, but Orange says he doesn't have to go forward to lead how the three -year -old can be driven just as much with a sit.
“He is quickly from a helmet, but it's a good race,” he said to Mr.
