With the Moonlight, a Frankel filly bred in Ireland by owner Godolphin, won three of six starts racing in England before shipping to North America in summer 2022, including a listed stakes at Newbury.
Trainer Charles Appleby pointed her to the Grade 1 Belmont Oaks Invitational Stakes for her U.S. debut on July 9, and she finished a good second behind McKulick after leading in early stretch.
Appleby then pointed With the Moonlight to the Grade 1 Saratoga Oaks Invitational Stakes on August 6, and this time the filly seized command in early stretch and was not threatened late by runner-up McKulick, winning winning by 1 ¾ lengths under William Buick. With the Moonlight wheeled right back two weeks later to attempt a Saratoga double in the Grade 2 Lake Placid Stakes on August 20, but had to settle for a closing second that day under jockey Luis Saez, beaten ¾ of a length by wire-to-wire winner, Haughty.
With the Moonlight is out of the Group 2-winning Dubawi mare Sand Vixen and is a full sister to Dream Castle, a multiple stakes winner in Dubai.
