And when he is teaming up with rising star Saveapatrol, it is worth giving the pair a second chance at Alexandra Park tonight.
Orange was on the cusp of 100 driving wins for the season before last night's meeting at Forbury Park and - after winning with Cerato to go to 99 wins - he brought up the milestone with the Jamie Gameson-trained Nova Time, before adding a third with Scotlynn Mach.
It was just the second time the driver known as ''The Postman'' has delivered the ton, following last year's tally of 106.
But this year is different.
After 12 years, Orange left the relative safety of the All Stars Stables at the start of this season to join up with Ken Barron at West Melton.
The results have been better than Barron or Orange could have hoped for as Barron has racked up 49 training wins, easily his best since his 46 wins in his debut season as a sole trainer in 2004-2005.
''I was always going to be a little bit nervous about how the year would go without being associated with Mark [Purdon] and Nat [Rasmussen] and not being involved with their ones any more,'' Orange said.
''But I couldn't have wished for a better year with the way it's gone, really.
''We've got a good working relationship and we've had a good bunch of horses, which is the main thing.''
Orange's main focus at Alexandra Park tonight is Saveapatrol, who resumed with a seventh in the Winter Cup last week.
Saveapatrol went to contest the lead prior to the 1500m but was held out by Vice Consul.
However, Orange squeezed Saveapatrol down into the trail, only for Vice Consul to hand up to stablemate Darcee, putting Saveapatrol three-back on the markers.
Regardless of the run, Orange was not entirely satisfied with the way the gelding finished off his race.
''He got pulling quite hard when he got back on the fence and he did get hanging a bit, but I probably would have liked him to have found the line just a little bit better,'' Orange said.
''But I guess with how hard he pulled, you can take that into account. It was always going to be hard for him with his first run in 14 months, so you would expect to see a better horse this week, anyway.''
Kowhai Monarch (race 10) is yet to trouble the judge in three starts although an early check from a rival left her with no hope last week.
''As long as she can trot away, she's got to be hard to beat. She's got enough to win a maiden race but it's just getting into problems early which isn't helping.''
I Got Rhythm (race 8) is a place chance if she improves from a fresh-up fifth last week, while Orange has his first drive on Whitney (race 6) in a tough mobile trot field that includes One Over Da Moon.
Orange also drives Go Fella Go (race 5) for the first time, although the Andrew Stuart- trained 3yr-old has barely put a hoof wrong to date, winning at Waterlea two weeks ago at his third start.
