$500,000 prizemoney injection, headlines the spring carnival finale meeting which has been relocated from
Ladbrokes Park Sandown to
Caulfield and transplanted to the last Saturday of November.
The Jericho is run the following day and Gibbins and McKenna say the Zipping meeting has invaded the Jericho’s territory.
While the increasingly-popular
Jericho Cup is run on the Sunday at
Warrnambool, festivities such as a Light horse competition staged on the Saturday had made the Jericho a weekend rather than a race-day.
Planners are looking to extend the Jericho festivities, starting on the Friday prior to the race.
Gibbins said he was “filthy” when he learned of the Zipping move “because you need continuity. If you start something like we have, you have to leave it and give it space and give it a chance.”
