Generous Tipper Outlasts Tuscan Sky In Discovery Stakes

[Wandering Eyes]

Breaking out of Kentucky for the first time, Generous Tipper (Street Sense) earned his first stakes win Sunday in taking the Discovery Stakes on the closing day at Belmont's Aqueduct meet. Sent off at 9-1, the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity third came in off a win over the distance at Keeneland Oct. 16. Enjoying a dream set up, Generous Tipper settled fourth as Batten Down (Tapit) and Tuscan Sky (Vino Rosso) locked horns early and dueled one another into the far turn. As that pair began to come back to the field past the half in :46.51, Kendrick Carmouche guided his mount inside to take over at the quarter pole and prevail to hold off a gusty Tuscan Sky who re-rallied in the final sixteenth.

“It was a perfect trip,” said Carmouche. “I had the speed in front of me. I just had to sit and wait for them to come back to me. You know that Kenny [McPeek] had this horse ready to rock and roll. I'm just glad to be a part of it. They [Batten Down and Tuscan Sky] had to go fast in front of me. I was just going to sit and wait no matter what. I thought I could win this race no matter what.”

The benchmark 100th stakes winner for Street Sense, Generous Tipper has a winning 2-year-old half-brother by Volatile, a yearling half-sister by Tiz the Law and a weanling half-sister by Golden Pal.
