It has become a common sight these days to see the orange and white colours of the Pacific Stable on show in the winner's enclosure at Kranji.
They were successful with Pacific Sonic, who took out the sixth event at the Aug 18 meeting.
It came on the heels of a "Pacific" double on Aug 11, when Pacific Star and Pacific Vampire delivered the goods in emphatic style.
Looking back, the list could go on - but it is already common knowledge to the ardent racegoers.
They will also know that the Pacific Stable will be well represented by eight runners at the Aug 25 meeting and some might even be pencilling in the frightfully named Pacific Vampire as the likely winner in that $100,000 Kranji Stakes A race over the 1,200m.
Well, they might probably be smack on target but there are others from the stable who could shine on the undercard in the 10race programme.
One of those could be Pacific Gold. He was prominent on the training track on Aug 20 when, with jockey Wong Chin Chuen in the saddle, he strode out fluently to run the 600m in 40.6sec.
A handsome chestnut, Pacific Gold is a two-time winner from 18 starts, the latest coming in a Class 4 (1,200m) on June 1, but his last three races have been awful.
