SANDOWN’S Zipping Classic meeting heralded the finale of Melbourne’s Spring Carnival. Trainer for Lloyd Williams, Liam Howley, took out the feature, a weight-for-age Group 2 race over 2,400 metres named after one of Lloyd Williams favourite horses, Zipping, a winner of the Sandown Classic four times (2007-2010) before the race was named after him in 2011.
