...mile race, the undefeated bay colt belonging to Mrs. Joan Whitney Payson, owner of the oft-defeated New York Mets, bore out on the stretch turn, still romped to a two-length victory that ran his record to five straight, stamped him as a strong contender-along with Rex Ellsworth's Candy Spots and Harry Guggenheim's Never Bend-for next week's Kentucky Derby...

Now Ellsworth owns a 440-acre ranch in Chino, Calif., 1,000 sq. mi. of range land in Arizona and New Mexico, and about 500 head of high-priced thoroughbred horseflesh...
