1 ! Widener Rates Rosebloom One of His Best Matrons LEXTNGT80N, Ky., May 23. George D. Widener, whose Old Kenney Farm is the home of many top brood mares, rates one of his best the ten-year-old Rosebloom, dam of the stake winners Rosetown and Pomrose. Widener did not breed Rosebloom. He purchased her as a yearling in 1931 at the Saratoga Springs sales for ,000 from W. S. Threlkeld. As a juvenile, the daughter of Chicle Rowes Bud, by Broomstick, won three races in ten starts, finishing third the Saratoga Sales Stakes. Rosebloom was retired at the end of her two-year-old campaign. Rosebloom has never produced a colt. All of her foals to date have been fillies. The Hi-jack filly, Rosemain, winner of four races, was the first foal of the Chicle mare. The second, Rosetown, by Jamestown, has been a consistent stake winner and is now in training. The third, High-clere, by Jack High, won one race in 1941 as a juvenile. Pomrose, by Pompey, the : fourth foal, won the Fashion Stakes recently at Belmont Park, showing much promise. , Rosebloom has a yearling filly by Jamestown here at the Widener farm, a full sister of Rosetown. This year Rosebloom foaled a bay filly by Sir Gallahad m. She : was mated with Eight Thirty. j as ,s i, d e e I. sr n in n is i-
