She was Ethel Veronica Healy prior to her marriage in 1910 to Franklin Clarence Mars, the founder of the Mars Candy company. In 1930, she and her husband purchased a 2,800 acre property in Giles County, Tennessee where they built Milky Way Farm. There, they raised Hereford cattle as well as bred Thoroughbred racehorses which were trained on a racetrack built on the property. Milky Way Farm StableThe Thoroughbred racing stable of Ethel and Franklin Mars began competing at major eastern United States racetracks in 1934 and following her husband's death that year, Ethel Mars took charge of all operations. Wanting to expand her racing and develop her bloodstock, from 1935 through 1942 she was a major spender for well-bred yearlings at the Saratoga spring sales.[1][2] In 1936, her Milky Way Farm stable's race winnings totaled $206,450, making the Milky Way Farm stable the year's most successful owner on the United States thoroughbred racing circuit.[3] In 1935, her filly Forever Yours, trained by Robert McGarvey was voted American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly. In 1937, her filly Mars Shield won the Kentucky Oaks. Then on May 4, 1940, Ethel Mars had her greatest single achievement in racing with her colt Gallahadion. Trained by Roy Waldron and ridden by Carroll Bierman, Gallahadion won the Kentucky Derby.[4] Declining health in the years following her Kentucky Derby win saw Ethel Mars wind down her racing and operations.[5] A resident of River Forest, Illinois, Ethel Mars died at age sixty-one on Christmas Day 1945 in La Jolla, California where she had been visiting.[6] References1. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=t_EuAAAAIBAJ&sjid=1tsFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1765,3320123&dq=ethel-mars+saratoga+sale&hl=en Ottawa Citizen - August 17, 1938] {{Mars brands}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Mars, Ethel V.}}2. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=cesiAAAAIBAJ&sjid=-3MFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5679,2349730&dq=ethel-mars&hl=en The New London Day (Connecticut) - July 30, 1942] 3. ^Sport: Luck and Mrs. Mars, TIME, January 4, 1937 4. ^Churchill Downs Inc. - 1940 Kentucky Derby charts 5. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=SopJAAAAIBAJ&sjid=EAwNAAAAIBAJ&pg=1269,4445359&dq=ethel-mars+milky+way+farm&hl=en The Charleston, South Carolina News and Courier - July 16, 1943] 6. ^[https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/baltsun/access/1684636322.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=Dec+26%2C+1945&author=&pub=The+Sun+(1837-1985)&desc=Mrs.+Ethel+Mars%2C+Milky+Way+Farm%27s+Owner%2C+Dies+On+Coast&pqatl=google Baltimore Sun - Dec 26, 1945] 7 : 1884 births|1945 deaths|American racehorse owners and breeders|20th-century American businesspeople|Businesspeople in confectionery|People from River Forest, Illinois|Mars family |
