Video, courtesy attheraces.com. Sheikh Mohammed=s purchase of the McNairs= Stonerside operation in the summer of 2008 has already begun to pay dividends. For example, the yearlings and weanlings included in the 2008 deal included Willing Foe, a potentially smart Dynaformer three-year-old, and White Moonstone, an unbeaten Dynaformer two-year-old. The latter heads the betting for next year=s 1000 Guineas following her victory in the Meon Valley Stud Fillies= Mile. In winning the Fillies= Mile, White Moonstone became no less than the 11th daughter of the Three Chimneys veteran to become a Group 1/Grade I winner. Even though Dynaformer has hit the classic target with his sons and , the female of the Dynaformer species is proving deadlier than the male, accounting for 11 of his 17 winners at the highest level on the flat. White Moonstone ranks alongside the likes of Riskaverse, Gozzip Girl, Film Maker, Collect the Cash, Sand Springs, Dynaforce, Starrer, Harmonious and Rainbow View, winner of the 2008 Fillies= Mile. White Moonstone is also the ninth of these fillies to have gained a Group 1/Grade I victory on turf, the sole exceptions being Critical Eye and Starrer. White Moonstone has more in common with several of her fellow Grade I winners than just a liking for turf, as she is yet another example of Dynaformer=s affinity for mares from the Mr. Prospector line. In fact, the first two generations of the pedigree of her dam Desert Gold contain a combination of stallions which made Desert Gold a pretty safe bet to produce a gem to Dynaformer. Desert Gold=s sire Seeking the Gold ranks as the broodmare sire of 27 foals of racing age by Dynaformer. Of the 18 which have started, 15 are winners and White Moonstone follows Riskaverse and the Grade III winner Vacation as the third to score at group or graded level. Another four members of this sample have finished second or third at graded level and this cross has an Average Earnings Index of 5.37.

She is one of 53 foals It has been a similar story with Dynaformer=s progeny sired by Seeking the Gold from daughters of Storm Cat out of Mr. Prospector mares. Here the figures stand at and she ranks among this cross=s eight black-type 24 starters from 32 foals and the 15 winners feature winners, alongside four graded winners. Film Maker, the smart Masseuse and the 2010 Grade III Dynaformer has also done well with Storm Cat winner Haka (plus the NSA-II hurdles winner Tax mares, siring four graded winners from 35 foals.

Prospector=s sons Carson City and Kingmambo. Barbaro Rainbow View, Dynaformer=s last winner of the Fillies was his greatest achievement with Carson City mares, Mile, was widely expected to become a dual Classic while his 11 foals out of Kingmambo mares include the winner at three, but she was never asked to tackle a Grade I winners Gozzip Girl and Wiener Walzer and the distance as long as a mile and a half following her smart English filly Ocean Silk. defeat in the Oaks.

That said, Desert Gold wasn=t quite as good as her sister-in-blood Sahara Gold. Bred by Nor from her GI Breeders= Cup Sprint winner Desert Stormer, Sahara Gold was acquired by the McNairs after she failed to find a buyer at $1,450,000 as a yearling. She must have given her new owners considerable pleasure, as her finest victory came in the Stonerside-sponsored Beaumont S., a Grade II event over seven furlongs. She also proved a goldmine as a broodmare, with yearling sons by A.P. Indy selling for $3,000,000 and $3,400,000. The latter, Sahara Heat, won the GIII Marine S. over 1 1/16 miles.
