Rob Roulston, Robert Roulston Bloodstock: “Moonlight Maid is a lovely big scopey attractive mare. She is athletic with generally good conformation. She is slightly offset in both knees but tracks through straight when walking and trotting. She has good bone, correct pastern angles and good feet. She is a strong chestnut colour who retires sound from the racetrack as her owner wants to concentrate on racing interests rather than breeding.”
