White Moonstone (foaled 25 February 2008) is an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. In a racing career which lasted from July until October 2010 she was undefeated in four races of increasing importance. After winning a maiden race on her debut she won the Group Three Sweet Solera Stakes, the Group Two May Hill Stakes and the Group One Fillies' Mile. She suffered training problems in the early part of the following year and was retired without racing again. She has produced at least one foal.
White Moonstone is a bay mare with no white markings bred by the Paris, Kentucky-based Stonerside Stable. She was sired by the American stallion Dynaformer whose wins included the Jersey Derby and whose other progeny have included Barbaro, Americain, Blue Bunting and Lucarno. Her dam, Desert Gold was a daughter of Desert Stormette, a half-sister of Desert Stormer (Breeders' Cup Sprint). Desert Stormette was in turn a granddaughter of the broodmare New Tune, whose other offspring included the Queen's Plate winner Sound Reason.
In September 2008, Stonerside Stable was bought by Sheikh Mohammed's Darley Stud. White Moonstone was sent to Europe where she was trained by Saeed bin Suroor and raced in the colours of Godolphin Racing. She was ridden in all of her races Frankie Dettori.
