The Generous Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually in late November at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California. Raced on turf at a distance of one mile (8 furlongs), the Grade III event is open to two-year-olds.
Inaugurated as the Hoist The Flag Stakes, the race's name was changed in 1993. There was no race run in 2005. The race was run in two divisions in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words generous and/or stakes:
“What generous beliefs console
The brave whom Fate denies the goal!
If others reach it, is content:
To Heaven’s high will his will is bent.
Firm on his heart relied,
What lot soe’er betide,
Work of his hand
He nor repents nor grieves,
Pleads for itself the fact,
As unrepenting Nature leaves
Her every act.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“This man was very clever and quick to learn anything in his line. Our tent was of a kind new to him; but when he had once seen it pitched, it was surprising how quickly he would find and prepare the pole and forked stakes to pitch it with, cutting and placing them right the first time, though I am sure that the majority of white men would have blundered several times.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
