Racehorse owner Roger King, whose King World Productions syndicated such television shows as "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune," has died at age 63. King suffered a stroke at his Boca Raton, Fla., home on Dec. 7 and died the following day at a local hospital, according to the New York Times. King raced stakes performers Courageous King, Bay Head King, and Lucinda K. Perhaps his best success came as breeder of Grade 2 winner Atswhatimtalknbout, a son of Lucinda K. whom he sold to B. Wayne Hughes for $900,000 at Fasig-Tipton's Calder select 2-year-old sale in 2002. King spent lavishly for horses in the auction ring, often bidding in such a theatrical style that he drew spectators himself. At the 2001 Saratoga yearling sale, he threw up his hands and left the pavilion, exasperated after Satish Sanan made a last-minute bid to top his $1.75 million offer. After lighting up a cigarette outside, King strode back in and bought the yearling for $1.85 million. That colt, Mister C's Song, won his first start but died soon afterward. King frequently campaigned his horses in the name of the R and R King Stable that he owned with his wife, Raemali, who survives him.
