Calumet Farm became one of the most recognizable and dominant names in twentieth-century horse breeding and racing, known for its white buildings with red trim, green roofs, and curving white board fences. William Monroe Wright, founder of the Calumet Baking Powder Company, established the farm in 1924 for Standardbreds, making it one of the country's finest harness racing farms. His son Warren Wright inherited it in 1931 and, with his wife Lucille, spent the next 19 years turning it into the flagship of the Thoroughbred racing and breeding industry. After Warren's death, Lucille remarried and continued Calumet's authority in the field. With the legendary trainer Ben Jones and manager Jimmy Jones, his son, joining the owners' guidance, Calumet remained at the top of the world's Thoroughbred establishments for decades. Its horses won the Kentucky Derby a record eight times, the Triple Crown twice, and the Filly's Triple Crown three times. Calumet was the leading money-winning owner for twelve years, became the first farm to exceed $1 million in annual winnings with $1.4 million, and raised eleven horses later honored in the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame. Whirlaway, known for running all over the track, was helped by a one-eye blinker devised by trainer B.A. Jones, and went on to win the Triple Crown. The farm's cumulative record was regarded as unsurpassed, and changing industry conditions, including the dramatic rise in registered Thoroughbred foals and increased competition, made it unlikely that any single stable would again dominate racing as Calumet once did.
