Pacific Victory Gives Ong First Malaysia Win

Two-time Singapore champion trainer Jason Ong saddled his first winner since his relocation to Malaysia when Pacific Victory created a mild upset in the RM40,000 (S$12,150) Class 3 - 1,200m handicap at Sungai Besi on Dec 28.

The Rubick gelding won three times in 12 starts for former trainer Tan Kah Soon at Kranji, but is now under the care of Ong - who won the Singapore premiership in 2023 and 2024.

Pacific Victory ($31) was having his first start in Malaysia but he had a familiar partner, apprentice Jerlyn Seow.

Seow won on the four-year-old's penultimate outing in Singapore in a Class 4 over 1,200m event on Sept 21.

The partnership, however, finished 14th of 16 runners on the final day of Singapore racing at Kranji on Oct 5.

Pacific Victory did not have a particularly good trial last week, which was probably why he went off at lukewarm odds.
