Quick Summary

Calumet Farm was a renowned Thoroughbred horse farm located near Lexington, Kentucky, United States. It was owned and operated by Warren Wright, an American financier and breeder of racehorses. Wright inherited the farm from his father and transformed it into a premier American stud farm.1

From 1941 onwards, Calumet Farm consistently produced exceptional horses. Notably, it was the home of eight Kentucky Derby winners. Two of these horses, Whirlaway (1941) and Citation (1948), achieved the prestigious U.S. Triple Crown by winning the Preakness and Belmont Stakes as well.1
