Return The Rhymer to Training After Three Seasons in Stud DELAWARE PARK, Stanton, Del., June 13. — The Rhymer, who gained his greatest fame while winning the 1942 Widener Handicap at Hialeah Park, arrived here this morning and will be returned to training by J. Bowes Bond. The Rhymer, purchased from an auction sale last season by Samuel M. Pistorio, Baltimore, Md., contractor, has been galloping all spring and, barring the unforeseen, should see his first action by mid-September. Somewhat of a disappointment during his early racing days, The Rhymer became anaemic during his three-year-old season and it became necessary to give him a blood transfusion. Strangely enough, the racer who supplied the blood is now stabled just one barn from The Rhymer. The horse is Carteret, a winner during the current meeting. Both horses were the prop- erty of the Greentree Stable at that time While his improvement was not immediate, The Rhymer moved up steadily and put a fitting climax on his rise by winning the Widener. Acquired by Pistorio for 0,000, the son of St. Germans — Rhythmic, now an eight-year-old, has spent the last three seasons at stud, and last spring was visited by 20 mares. His first crop now are yearlings. IrsHa
