RACING WORLD IS AMAZED AT SUCCESS OF RILDRETH . ———_—_-4+ | ke Trainer of Season’s Biggest Winning Stable Brings Back Purchase After Two Years’ Absence Like a Man 0’ War and Rejuvenates Ten-Year-Old Stromboli Miraculously— Has Luculite Training Again and Has Not Given Up Hope of Saving $150,000 Inchcape to Sport. By Vincent Treanor. HO ever said “They never come W back” may have been right regarding ring champions, but We evidently never hean! of Sam Hil- @reth, the horse trainer and the cham- pions which have “come back" under his care. Known to-day as the hand- Jer of perhaps the biggest and most pretentious stable of thoroughbreds in training, and saddler of innumerable winners, this quiet mannered man, Town gray at his labor of love, has amazed the racing world and added to his already envinble reputation this year by bringing back celebrities which were thought to be lost forever to racing, at least as far 4s competition goes. He has shown, too, that he doesn't bring them back to be peaten amd besmirched but returns them to scenes of former triumphs as sensa- tdonal winners. Stromboli? Remember tim, rival of the great Roamer in his day, a stake winner long before hmlf the horses mow racing were foaled. Ten years old, and out of training for two years with bad and almost incurably strained tendons, Stromboll’s name appeared in the entries shortly after the opening of the Belmont Park meeting this spring. Old timers rubbed their eyes and looked twice to muke sure they didn’t have a programiae of five years before in their hands. They weren't mistaken. There was the gelded son of Fair Play and St. Priscila in a mile condition race as if back from the dead. Did Stromboli struggle piteousty at the fag emi of the procession? He did not. He outclassed a field of horses half his age and won easily. He shouldered 123 pounds and pulled up the mfle sound in the astounding time of 1.374-5. No victory could have pleased Hildreth more. Within three days Stromboli came back again and lost @ stirring race by « nose. Following that, he raced again, this time at stx and a half furlongs, and with 127 pounds on hie old back beat a good field of sprinters in time worthy of a champion, XTRAORDINARY as was the re- E juvenation of oM “Pop,” as Stromboli is known tm his stable, it seemed as nothing compared to the miraculous “come-back” of Purchase, ‘the five-year-old, only on Tuesday Yast. For two years this champion of his late two-year-old career and rated the best asa three-year-old, has been on the shelf with a wrenched ankle. He hurt himself at Laurel in the faM of 1919, His racing days were considered over and his value to the turf seemed only in the stud. He was bred to forty mares. This spring, down at Rancocas Farm, in Jeracy, ‘Trainer Hildreth was etruck by the Hvelinena and general tip-top feeling of Purchase in his runs oo the ious paddock He jdn't seem to have an ache and it occurred to the trainer that he once again might stand training. He was put to it, and took to hie former work like an en- thusiastic boy. Tuesday's race was the result. Railbirds now say that Purchase is as good as he ever was. Certainly, in almy days he couldn't have been expected to run a better race than he did with 135 pounds up to tow-rope such a fast horse as Gladiator, Some are of the opinion that hy can beat bis illustrious stable mate Grey Lag now, and that if he stands up, the big races of the handicap division are at the mercy of the Rancocas Stable. Sceing him gallop over his field and win eased up, one couldn't help feel- ing that Man O' War was well away from racing and safe in the stud tor © of hia alinost spotless record. Man O' War never beat a better horse than Purchase was on Tuesday last. ILDRETH has two other famous criples who may some day come out and duplicate the feats of both Stromboli and Pure! are Lucullite, a speed marvel as a two-year-old and right near the top of the heap in hia three-year-old season, and Inchcape now three ycara old, Lucullite is in training again with Vurchase and working as fast as of yore. He may be seen under colors any day, Incheape may or may not return the turf. His injury has defied treat- ment so far. This good colt cost Hil- dreth $150,000 after he had won two starts last season In sensational fash- jon. He was considered a sure thing for the Futurity. He seemed to have all the subsequent two-year-old races sewed up at tho time He went wrong suddenly and has never raced for the man who pald such an as- tounding price for him. Inchcape, after recovering from a skin disease struck himself during a comparatively slow workout at Saratoga last year and had to be retired. He has not been given up as hopeless ns a race- ase, They anybody can bring him back. Hildreth will. For the sake of racing it is hoped the trainer succeeds, HAT are Hildreth's methods of | rejuvenating cripples which have been considered hopeless are not known exactly, but those fa- miliar with his way of doing things attributed hig success to care, rast, patience, and nature's own cure for many ills, time. Hildreth ts no be- lie@er in the firing irons. Blisters and | cold water take their place with him, and the great dependence is placed on rest. After this period has had the desired effect the noted trainer relies on work as a strengthener for weakened tendons. He believes with Tom Welsh, who says that in France where he had unlimited experience ag a trainer, horses with bowed or strained tendons are in demand. Ar- my officers search the race track for horses so afflicted and buy them up. They then subject them to plenty of work which in time remedies the trouble. handling eripples and those who know him well tell how, as long aa twenty years ago he would go to New Orleans regularly each winter I [ianatine is a past master at with a big string of horses with hard- ly a sound one among them. Ho would race these on the hard bonrd- like track there and win races when others wouldn't dare take a chance with unsound horses under such con- ditions, Hildreth always believed that plenty of work on hard tracka built up his cripples. He attributes most of the leg and tendon tronbdles of race horses to racing them on soft shifting soil which gives and puts a strain on the tendons, ‘Whatever Hildreth'a system, tt has worked wonders this year with Strom. boll, Purchase and Luculllte, not to| the boxe: mention such as Valor, Regal Lodge, and Tom McTaggart.
