When all six first round winners of the Coral Golden Sprint are timed at between 23.78 and 23.92 (+10) for Romford’s 400m course, the most accurate description of the competition is ‘competitive’.
Narrowly quickest on the clock was the dog who followed home Roxholme Nidge and King Elvis in the last Puppy Cup Final, Headford Kev. The other joint ante post favourite, Kilmore Lemon clocked 23.87 when taking his career strike rate to 11/21.
