A NUMBER of unplaced Emirates Melbourne Cup horses got a final chance at spring riches at Sandown on Saturday with Who Shot Thebarman, 11th at Flemington this year and third the year before, cashing in on the $300,000 Group 2 Zipping Classic.

Sent out the favourite in the seven-horse field, the Yamanin Vital gelding had little trouble with the 2,400 metres under weight-for-age conditions to post a seventh length win over the Irish-bred Sea The Stars gelding Tall Ship and the South African-bred Silvano mare Do You Remember.
