The Coronation Cup is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Romford Greyhound Stadium.[1]
Race history[edit]
It was inaugurated in 1981 at Southend Stadium.[2] However, in 1985 Southend closed and the event switched to Romford. [3] It is not to be confused with the Coronation Stakes that was held at Wembley.
