Beauty Generation Shows Splendid Form In Final Galop
In Beauty Generation’s final gallop before Sunday’s Gr.1 Stewards’ Cup, he displayed peak form, ticking along powerfully and without undue exertion into his next assignment.
Beauty Generation started his workout at the 1800m point and galloped 800m in an easy 53.9s (28.3, 25.6) before slowing into the turn and easing down to a walk for his return along the dirt track’s back side.
Hong Kong’s Horse of the Year will this weekend attempt to achieve what he could not accomplish 12 months ago a Stewards’ Cup victory straight off an early December win in the Gr.1 Hong Kong Mile. But Moore is not worried about the six-week break since his last race, with his charge aiming to go five races unbeaten this term.
The world’s top-rated specialist turf miler will face only five opponents at the weekend but one of those is a new rival, a horse being touted as a potential star in his own right, the John Size-trained Conte.
Beauty Generation is currently rated 127, the equal highest in Hong Kong history alongside Moore’s previous mile champion Able Friend.
