John Allen and Danny O’Brien combined at Caulfield to get a much-deserved win in the 2400m feature race of the day. Luncies (+230) appeared to raise a challenge at the 200m mark, but he couldn’t run down the winner, as Persan (+450) stayed on for third place. 2021: Sound claims back-to-back Zipping Classics Sound (+1900) has gone back-to-back in the Group 2 Zipping Classic as he charged home from midfield to claim Dr Drill (+2500) in the final 50m and run away with a dominant win. The Michael Moroney-trained stayer became just the third horse to win multiple Zipping Classics, emulating the effort of The Taj Mahal who went back-to-back three years prior. After leading the field up, Dr Drill held on for second and Wentwood (+3000) battled away on the inside to claim third. 2020: Sound runs away with Zipping Classic victory Jamie Kah produced one of the spring’s best judged rides to partner Sound (+400) to his first win in Australia in the Group 2 Zipping Classic. At his 19th start in Australia, the Michael Moroney-trained import finally broke through for his first win on Aussie soil. After settling worse than midfield until the halfway mark, Kah chose to take off and settle outside the leader. By the 200m mark, Sound kicked clear to put a length on her rivals and was able to hold on from the fast-finishing Brimham Rocks (+500) and Future Score (+500), who finished in second and third, respectively. 2019: Southern France blows away his rivals in Zipping Classic win Southern France (+200) backed up from a underwhelming performace in the Melbourne Cup and produce a devastating finish to run straight past his rivals in the Group 2 Zipping Classic. The Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained import settled last in the 2400m contest and was still in last place at the 400m mark, before he charged home down the outside to pick up his rivals within 300m and draw clear. Miss Siska (+900) and Chapada (+1800) fought out the minor placings, with the former getting the nod in a close photo for second place.
