If there is one horse who does not take a long time between drinks, it has to be Pacific Vampire.
Three weeks after a slashing debut in Class 4 company, the Jason Ong-trained four-year-old son of Impending was back for another thirst-quencher.
While he romped in by 21/2 lengths after breaking from barrier No. 1 at his Kranji introduction on April 6, the outermost alley in the $70,000 Class 3 race (1,200m) on April 27 barely put a dent in his bid for a second dose.
Under Bruno Queiroz - who took over from debut partner Jerlyn Seow Pacific Vampire ($9) did not quite draw first blood once his gate No. 11 flew open.
Noted for having an abundance of early speed, too, stablemate Pacific Hero (Seow) was actually the best away. But, the moment Queiroz sent out the cues to put some daylight behind, Pacific Vampire immediately went hell for leather to the lead.
From that point onwards, a onehorse race was all but a foregone conclusion, even if he was still running on raw ability.
Had his Brazilian jockey not kept him under a chokehold, he might have done a "Pride Of Jenni".
