The official 2025 Zipping Classic results<\/strong> will be available below once the race takes place on Saturday November 29, 2025.<\/p>\n

  1. #14 She’s A Hustler<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. #1 Light Infantry Man<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. #8 Etna Rosso<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    She\u2019s A Hustler ($3.10F)\u00a0<\/strong>delivered a career-defining performance to head the 2025 Zipping Classic results\u00a0<\/strong>at Caulfield on Saturday.<\/p>\n

    Trained by Grahame Begg and ridden by Jordan Childs, the five-year-old Ace High mare stepped up to weight-for-age company for the first time in the 2400m Group 2 feature and proved her staying credentials.<\/p>\n

    Despite appearing vulnerable around the home turn, she balanced up strongly and surged past multiple Group 1 winner Light Infantry Man in the final strides to score by a short neck, with Etna Rosso finishing third.<\/p>\n

    The victory marked her first Group 2 success and confirmed Begg\u2019s plan to\u00a0target the 2026 Caulfield Cup<\/strong>, run over the same course and distance.<\/p>\n

    Already a consistent performer with seven wins and four seconds from 11 starts, She\u2019s A Hustler will now be spelled before being aimed at an autumn and winter campaign in Queensland, a pathway that has produced recent Caulfield Cup champions.<\/p>\n\n

    \"Zipping
    \nOfficially registered as the Sandown Classic<\/strong>, the Group 2 Zipping Classic is one of the main races to close out the Spring Racing Carnival taking place over the mile and a half (2400m) at Caulfield Racecourse in late November.<\/p>\n

    Previously run earlier in November at Sandown Racecourse, in 2021 the Zipping Classic Day card was moved to late November at Caulfield Racecourse where it remained for the 2022 edition.<\/p>\n

    In 2023 the Zipping Classic took place on the first Saturday in December, while it has been held on the last Saturday in November since 2024.<\/p>\n

    Offering an increased $750,000 in prize money as of 2021 and run at weight-for-age, the Zipping Classic makes a nice target for horses out of the famous\u00a0Melbourne Cup race <\/a>run over two miles (3200m) at Flemington on the first Tuesday of November.<\/p>\n

    The Zipping Classic was renamed in 2011 in honour of the event’s four-time champion Zipping (2007-10) and has been won by plenty of quality stayers including Americain (2011) who won the previous year’s Melbourne Cup.<\/p>\n

    The 2024 Zipping Classic winner Arapaho franked the form the following autumn winning the 2025 Group 1 Sydney Cup<\/a> (3200m)<\/p>\n
