2016 Melbourne Cup winning trainer Jason MacKay lines up for his second attempt on a Victorian group race in as many weeks, in the Ballarat Cup on Friday night, but this time with youngster Kong.
Kong is the winner of five races from just seven starts, with all of his wins being on interstate soil (Maitland and Bulli).
The son of Mogambo and Fantasy Royale lines up in the second of eight Ballarat Cup heats from box five, with the Group Two $77,000 to-the-winner final set to run on Friday December 2.
Zambora Brockie returns to country cup racing in the fourth heat from box three, in what could possibly be his third country cup victory.
