The Zipping Classic, registered as the MRC Sandown Classic is a Melbourne Racing Club Group 2 Thoroughbred horse race held under weight for age conditions over a distance of 2400 metres run at Caulfield Racecourse, Melbourne, Australia in late-November/early-December.

[2] After the racecourse grandstand burned to the ground in 1947 the racing club amalgamated with the privately owned Victorian Trotting and Racing Association to become the Melbourne Racing Club and moved the event to Sandown Racecourse.

In 2013, the race was transferred to Caulfield due to renovations occurring at Sandown.

Meanwhile, in 2010 the Melbourne Racing Club introduced a new Sandown Cup into the program.

[4] In 2021, the race was moved to Caulfield Racecourse permanently and occurs two weeks later than its original date, which was one week after the conclusion of the Flemington carnival.
