For a small breeder, having just one stakes-producing mare on the farm is a source of pride for Christina Deronda. But how about two?
Deronda is the breeder of Laobanonaprayer, who will seek a third straight stakes victory in Saturday s $100,000 Franklin Square going 6 1/2 furlongs for New York-bred sophomore fillies at Aqueduct Racetrack.
Deronda, who operates Moonstar Farm in Dutchess County, N.Y., alongside her mother Angela Colyard and sister Patricia Calandro, owns Raffie s Chance – a daughter of Raffie s Majesty who is the dam of Laobanonaprayer. She also owns City Scamper, who produced two-time stakes winning New York-bred City Man, under the Moonstar Farm moniker.
