There was a time earlier this year when Chris Waller was preparing to say goodbye to classy sprinting mare Generosity. However, this Saturday, she will begin another campaign for the champion trainer.

The six-year-old mare 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Generosity was entered for Inglis’s Chairman’s Sale in May, but was withdrawn after Waller and owners B2B Thoroughbreds seriously contemplated a trip to Royal Ascot.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 potential journey was aborted after her unlucky sixth placing as a well-backed favourite in the Group 1 Sangster Stakes at Morphettville on Anzac Day, and Waller is content to keep her racing.

“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 trailed 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, with her biggest win being the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) first-up last campaign.

The Moir Stakes will be her first run in Melbourne. Despite this, the $9000 weanling purchase has extensive experience racing anti-clockwise, due to commencing her career in Perth. She had her first 22 starts there, earning just over $800,000, before being sold privately to B2B.

Generosity is scheduled for a familiarisation gallop at Sandown on Tuesday morning, with Giga Kick and Natural Fling among other Moir Stakes entries expected to make the trip.
