Champions Sprint Information

The Champions Sprint, also known as the VRC Sprint Classic, is a Group 1 sprint race and is the feature sprint event of the Melbourne Spring Carnival. It is held at Flemington Racecourse each year over 1200m and is a highlight of the fourth day of Cup Week.

The race is at Group 1 level and boasts a total prize pool of $3,000,000 and is at weight-for-age conditions.

The 2025 Champions Sprint will be run on Saturday aturday November 8, 2025 at Flemington Racecourse.

The Champions Sprint is well placed for the sprinters given it follows up from the Manikato (1200m) and the Yellowglen (1200m) on Derby Day.

Since the turn of the century, only four horses aged four years and under have won the race. So that is an indication that the older, seasoned sprinter will be well placed.

Note: The dates provided on this page are not yet confirmed and may be subject to change. For accurate information, please refer to official sources.
