Posset The Pick For Glenwood Farm

Posset The Pick For Glenwood Farm… 
The rare chance to buy a young full-sibling to a multiple Group 1 winner from one of the very best farms in the world resulted in a third-day top price of 625,000gns for Posset (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), the unraced sister to Juddmonte star Midday (GB). 
Kentucky-based Canadian breeders John and Tanya Gunther of Glenwood Farm are the new owners of the 3-year-old (lot 2150), who drew bids from Bill Gredley, Federico Barberini, Cormac McCormack, representatives of prominent Japanese owner Hidetoshi Yamamoto, and eventual underbidder Sheikh Fahad Al Thani. 
Posset’s dam Midsummer (GB) (Kingmambo) is in foal to Frankel, as is her Group 3-winning half-sister Hot Snap (GB), while Midday herself has a filly foal by the Juddmonte champion as well as a yearling colt by Galileo (Ire). 
Speaking on behalf of her father, Tanya Gunther said, “We hoped to get her for a little bit less but it’s a wonderful family and opportunities like this just don’t come up very often, so sometimes you have to punch up a bit.” 
As well as their Versailles-based breeding operation, the Gunthers board mares in Ireland with Coolmore and indicated that Posset it likely to remain in Europe. 
Tanya added, “This filly was one of about three in the sale we were really keen to have. The Juddmonte families are just amazing–we bred a Dansili mare to Frankel this year and we’re big fans of their stallions. We’ll have a discussion to decide where she’ll go next year.”
