Millionaire mare Generosity Chairman’s Sale plans have been confirmed following her impressive victory in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes over 1000 metres at Randwick on Saturday. The accomplished sprinter, now trained by Chris Waller, will be offered at the prestigious Inglis Chairman’s Sale scheduled for May.
The win marked only Generosity’s fourth start for Waller, yet it was a performance that underlined her class. She held off a remarkable line-up of elite opposition, with four Group 1 winners filling the places behind her — Golden Slipper heroine Marhoona, established sprinter Mazu, Everest winner Giga Kick and Lightning Stakes winner Skybird. In doing so, Generosity became just the third mare in the past decade to capture the Challenge Stakes, following English and Passive Aggressive.
Generosity Chairman’s Sale entry confirmed after Randwick success
The decision to place Generosity in the Chairman’s Sale catalogue adds further intrigue to what is already shaping as one of the year’s most anticipated bloodstock auctions. Her victory at Randwick showcased the natural speed and resilience that have defined her career to date.
Earlier in the spring, at just her second start for the Waller stable, Generosity finished a close third in the Group 2 Shorts, chasing home Joliestar and Briasa. That effort hinted at the progress she would soon deliver, culminating in Saturday’s authoritative display.
Generosity carries a pedigree to match her racetrack credentials. She is a granddaughter of Bel Mer, a top-class Group 1-winning sprinter, and began her career in Western Australia under trainer Simon Miller. There she quickly established herself as a sprinter of notable ability.
Among her early highlights was a Stakes victory over 1400 metres, while she also ran third in the 2025 edition of The Quokka, a high-profile sprint contest worth $4 million. On that occasion she finished ahead of multiple Group 1-winning sprinter Overpass, reinforcing her standing among Australia’s top short-course performers.
Connections are now expected to aim Generosity at the Group 1 Galaxy over 1100 metres at Rosehill on March 21 before her scheduled appearance in the Chairman’s Sale.
Champion trainer Chris Waller spoke warmly of the mare’s qualities, describing her as a rewarding horse to prepare. “Generosity is a quality type with a lovely attitude and a fantastic horse to train,” Waller said. “She has excellent natural speed and, as her record shows, she is very versatile. “With more racing still to come, she presents as a very exciting prospect over the next 12 months.”
Inglis Bloodstock Sales Manager Harry Bailey welcomed the addition of Generosity to the upcoming auction, noting the significance of securing a mare of her calibre.
“I was at Randwick on Saturday to see her win — she is a very pretty mare and obviously exceptionally quick,” Bailey said. “There is a terrific programme of races ahead for her, including major sprint contests in Sydney and Brisbane. “Mares like this do not come on the market very often and she carries enormous appeal both as a race filly and as a future broodmare.”
The Chairman’s Sale has rapidly developed into one of the most influential events on the international bloodstock calendar. In 2025 alone, fillies and mares offered after their racing careers averaged an extraordinary $879,222.
Recent standout results have included Bella Nipotina selling for $4.2 million and Amelia’s Jewel for $3.8 million, along with high-value offerings such as Nimalee ($3.6 million), Montefilia ($3.4 million), She’s Extreme ($3.4 million) and Tutta La Vita ($3.2 million). This year’s auction will follow the familiar late-afternoon format at Riverside on Thursday, May 7, under the theme “Where Elegance Meets Excellence”.
The sale has also produced notable success stories beyond the auction ring. The dams of Group 1 winners Autumn Glow, Imperatriz, Home Affairs, Apocalyptic and She’s Extreme have all been offered at the Chairman’s Sale, while international performer In Italian also traces her story through the event. Bailey pointed to a series of recent big-race results linked to the sale as further evidence of its growing influence. “It was a big weekend for the Chairman’s Sale,” he said.
“The dams of Group 1 Newmarket winner Caballus, Group 2 Reisling winner Chayan and Group 3 winner Pinito were all sourced at the sale, while Group 2 Todman winner Paradoxium was sold in utero through the same platform.” Entries for this year’s Chairman’s Sale are expected to close shortly, with the catalogue continuing to build momentum as leading racing fillies and mares are confirmed.
