He has been booked to ride the Peter Moody-trained Flying Mascot in the Group 2 Sunline Stakes.
"Unfortunately Blaike won't be riding over the Albury carnival this year," McDougall's manager Hayden Kelly said.
"Logistically, it's a nightmare to try and ride at Albury on cup day and then get back to Moonee Valley.
"Blaike wants to win an Albury Cup but it won't be this year."
