Kong trained three year-old Hot King Prawn, who scored his ficth win from six
starts at Happy Valley on Wednesday night.
Trained by John Size and ridden by Zac Purton, he jumped fast and led all the

Hot King Prawn was a $90,000 Inglis Classic purchase for Aquanita Racing from the Torryburn Stud draft.
Bred and sold by Torryburn, Hot King Prawn is a half-brother to stakes-placed Siren's Fury being from Unbridled's Song (USA) mare De Chorus, a daughter of stakes-winner Val de Grace.
