There was a time earlier this year when Chris Waller was preparing to farewell classy sprinting mare Generosity, but this Saturday she will start another campaign for the champion trainer.
The six-year-old resumes in the $750,000 Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) at Sandown.
Generosity was entered for Inglis’s Chairman’s Sale in May, but was withdrawn after Waller and owners B2B Thoroughbreds seriously contemplated a trip to Royal Ascot.
That was aborted after her luckless sixth placing as a well-backed favourite in the Group 1 Sangster Stakes at Morphettville on Anzac Day and Waller is happy to still her in his career.
“We took her to Adelaide and had no luck and she’s spelled since,” he said.
“She was that close to going to Royal Ascot and we just pulled the pin.
“Even after that (Sangster Stakes) she was still OK, but I just thought it’s a long way to go to not be a good thing.
“She’s come back well, she’s trailled well and she goes good fresh.”
The daughter of Divine Prophet, who ran sixth and fifth in two trials in Sydney during August, is chasing a maiden Group 1 win in the Moir Stakes.
The former Western Australian mare has won six of 28 starts, the biggest being the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) first-up last campaign.
The Moir Stakes will be her first run in Melbourne, but the $9000 weanling purchase has plenty of experience racing anti-clockwise due to starting her career in Perth, where she had her first 22 starts – and won a tick over $800,000 – before being sold privately to B2B.
Generosity will have a familiarisation gallop at Sandown on Tuesday morning with Giga Kick and Natural Fling among other Moir Stakes entries down to make the trip.
