Waiting Patiently out to answer stamina questions in King George
Jefferson hoping clear round can settle the issue this time.
Ruth Jefferson is keen to find out for sure if Waiting Patiently stays three miles in the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. The Grade One winner turns 10 soon yet has had only 13 races in his career -winning seven – and Jefferson herself describes him as “physically fragile”. Waiting Patiently ran in the King George two years ago and was 4-1 second favourite behind Might Bite but got only as far as the ninth fence when he jumped into the back of Bristol De Mai and unseated Brian Hughes. “I’m 99.9 per cent sure that is where we are going,” Jefferson told Nick Luck’s Daily Podcast.WOW! Waiting Patiently wins the big one in the Betfair Ascot Chase.
