It will be a case of master versus the apprentice when the Kropp family go head-to-head in The Eagle Way at Doomben on Saturday.
Toowoomba trainer Matt Kropp saddles Red Defcon in the 2000 metre feature while son Will is chasing his biggest win of his short career with Bilpa Morea.
Will has only been training for four years and has a team of six in work at Toowoomba and works alongside his father Matt, who has 25 In work.
Matt is chasing his second win in The Eagle Way following his success with Trusty Lad in 2018.
Red Defcon hasn’t missed a place in nine starts for Matt's long-time owner John Wagstaff who bred the daughter of Defcon.
