Out of a job for months amidst the loss of his former master due to bankruptcy, apprentice Dellorto Pregasam bounced back under a new master with the aptly-named CHRISTMAS in the Class 4 - 1700m handicap on the polytrack at Kranji tonight.

It was the first win for the Malaysian lad since last July and only his second ride for new master Stephen Gray.

Dellorto, who ride only ten winners at Kranji the last three years, judged the race to perfection as he brought CHRTSMAS from last to beat SUPER JOE by a neck.

"I would like to thank Mr Gray for taking me with him," said Dellorto. "I’m very happy I’ve finally won a race, but more importantly, I now have a job and can continue riding for a living."
