Rex C. Ellsworth, a simple Mormon cattleman that never would’ve imagined that his love for horses would take him to the highest pantheon of Thoroughbred horse racing. From the hot Arizona desert to the bluegrass of Kentucky and to the finest European breeding centers, Ellsworth wheeled and dealed to attain the finest horseflesh he could buy in his quest to breed the best horses possible. His thoroughbreds won some the most famous races in the United States, like the Santa Anita Handicap, the Santa Anita Derby, Hollywood Gold Cup, Hollywood Oaks, San Juan Capistrano ,American Derby, Florida Derby, Metropolitan Handicap, Preakness Stakes and the Prix del Arc de Triomphe. To THE biggest race of them all…The Kentucky Derby. His homebred horses like Swaps, Terrang, Prove It, Candy Spots and Olden Times could still be traced in the pedigrees of many of today’s top North American Thoroughbreds. In Rex C. Ellsworth….Racing’s Cowboy King you’ll finally have a firsthand account of many of the incidents that made him either the most hated or one of the most revered horseman of the 20th century. From the highest of the highs to his lowest of times…this is his story from those who saw it happen.
