Rex Blees 1416 John Donovan, George D. Bernard, John Hook

*Sire, Rex McDonald 833, by Rex Denmark 840. *Dam, Daisy Dimple 1606, by Dick Forrest; 2d dam, Grey Lee, by Pharo; 3d dam, daughter of Pat Cleburne 3242. *Bred by John Donovan, St. Joseph, Mo.; foaled May 1897. Rex Blees, a dark 16-hand stallion, bred by John Donovan, well-known railroad magnate, banker, horseman, owner of King Hill Stock Farm; foaled in 1897 on the farm of Gay Brothers, near Pisgah, Ky. Mr. Donovan sent the mare, Daisy Dimple, to Rex McDonald while he was in Kentucky, the property of John Hughes, and had the mare cared for by Gay Brothers. Colonel Donovan owned him until he was two years old when he sold him to George D. Bernard who lived at that time at Colorado Springs, Colo., who also owned the sensational stallion, Forest King 1462, by Squirrel King 973, by Black Squirrel 58. Mr. Bernard paid $3,000 for Rex Blees when he was two years old and it was one of the largest, if not the largest, price paid for a two-year-old up to that time. He is said to have been an unusually handsome fellow, with stripe in face, hind legs white half way to hock, and right fore foot and ankle white, an unusually heavy mane and tail, with fine head, small sharply set ears, and one of the best of saddle backs. Rex Blees began his show-ring career at Colorado Springs in 1901. He eventually came into the hands of John Hook and became one of the most prominent of the progeny of Rex McDonald and had a very sensational show career.
