[Race Record: 2:28.13 – Vow And Declare 2022]
The race we know today as the Zipping Classic had its origins way back in 1888 when it was then known as the Williamstown Cup.
First run at Williamstown Racecourse on Friday November 9th 1888, the Williamstown Cup was contested over a distance of one mile and three furlongs and was won by Mr Sam Cook’s five-year-old bay mare, Mara.
In 1920 the distance was extended to 1 ½ miles
In March 1940, Williamstown racecourse was taken over by the military for use as an army camp for the duration of WWII. During this time all Williamstown meetings were held at Flemington and Moonee Valley. Unlike Caulfield, which was also used as a military camp and reopened after the war in 1946, Williamstown racecourse’s reopening was delayed and when both grandstands were destroyed by fire in 1947 its reconstruction and reopening was delayed indefinitely.
The Williamstown Cup continued to be run at Flemington, Moonee Valley and later, Caulfield.
Sadly, Williamstown racecourse never reopened, and, as it turned out, 1939 was the last time that the Williamstown Cup was run on its home track.
In 1948 the Williamstown Racing Club merged with the Victorian Trotting and Racing Association to form the Melbourne Racing Club.
The Melbourne Racing Club continued to run the Williamstown Cup at Flemington, Moonee Valley and Caulfield with Caulfield being the main venue.
In 1962 the MRC renamed the Williamstown Cup, the Sandown Cup, in preparedness for the opening of their new ‘Sandown Racecourse’ in 1965.
In the meantime, the new ‘Sandown Cup’ would continue to be run at Caulfield.
A merger between the MRC and the VATC in 1963 saw the Sandown Cup run at Caulfield for the final time in 1964. In 1965 the new Sandown Racecourse was opened and that year saw the first running of the Sandown Cup on its new home track.
The Cup was won by Mr T. Stewart’s, Red William.
In 1999, the Sandown Cup was changed from a handicap event to Weight-For Age and the name was changed to the Sandown Classic. A further name change occurred in 2011 when the Sandown Classic became the Zipping Classic, named in honour of four times winner, Zipping 2007/08/08/10.
In 2021 The Zipping Classic was permanently transferred to Caulfield Racecourse.
Training honours are shared by two old-timers in James Scobie and Lou Robertson who each saddled-up the winner on six Occasions.
James Scobie: 1900 Paul Pry – 1902 Eleanor – 1905 Demas
1918 Sea Bound – 1922 King Ingoda – 1927 Star D’Or
Lou Robertson: 1929 Cimbrian – 1935 Garrio – 1941 Throttle
1942 Phocion – 1950 & 52 Morse Code
Riding honours rest with ‘The Professor’ himself, Roy Higgins who piloted the winner on four occasions:
1966 Light Fingers – 1969 General Command – 1971 Gunsynd
1978 Salamander
Special acknowledgement must be given to well-known owner, Lloyd Williams, whose gallopers won this race on eight occasions, including his grand old campaigner, Zipping, who won four consecutive Sandown Classics between 2007 & 2010.

1940 to 1950 – Williamstown Cup run at Flemington
In March 1940, Williamstown racecourse was taken over by the military for use as an army camp for the duration of the war. During this time all Williamstown meetings were held at Flemington, Caulfield and Moonee Valley.
Unlike Caulfield, which was also used as a military camp and reopened after the war in 1946, Williamstown racecourse’s reopening was delayed and its race meetings continued to be run at Flemington, Caulfield and Moonee Valley.
Sadly, Williamstown racecourse never reopened, and 1939 turned out to be the last year that the Williamstown Cup was held there.
