There were cautious smiles at the sponsor’s HQ heading into the decider. “This year’s final looks to be one of the strongest renewals of the Coral Coronation Cup that we have ever seen. Adageo Bob starts as the warm favourite and will no doubt be popular on the night. Fortunately we have wanted him on our side ever since we opened betting so he would not be too costly. The one dog we have laid at bigger prices is Soviet Kenny so he would be our worst result by a mile,” said John Hill, Coral PR manager.
