Ascot's Waiting Patiently for a stellar day of racing
Waiting Patiently (right)

A SUPERB day of racing is headlined by the huge nine race card at Ascot including the feature Ascot Chase at 3.55.

Last year WAITING PATIENTLY (nap) saw off Cue Card in a memorable tussle with a career best effort and it was no shock to see him out on his feet at the end against such a high-class opponent, a hard race to come out of.

His only subsequent start was when unluckily unseating in the King George at Kempton Park, but I thought that was the wrong pathway to take. Here is a horse with a very classy cruising speed which means that three miles at an end to end gallop will always find him out at the business end.
