The Gunthers Open Glennwood's Broodmare Band to the Ring

John Gunther and his daughter Tanya will consign mares that have already produced Grade I winners to the Fasig-Tipton November sale, a decision that sends some of the most proven stock from their small Glennwood Farm operation into public hands. Breeders of their scale rarely let go of a dam whose record is already written, which is what will draw buyers to the Glennwood draft. The consignment comes at the close of a season that has gone unusually well for the farm, one that counts Napoleon Solo, a son of Liam's Map, among its names. For the father-and-daughter team, the sale is a chance to show how far a deliberately limited book of mares can carry a program. Anyone walking the barns in November will find the Glennwood hip numbers worth a second look.
