Calumet Farm is a 762-acre thoroughbred horse breeding and training operation in Lexington, Kentucky, established in 1924 by William Monroe Wright, founder of the Calumet Baking Powder Company, initially as a standardbred farm before his son Warren Wright Sr. expanded it into thoroughbred racing after 1932. Under later owners including Lucille Parker Wright Markey and, since 2012, the Calumet Investment Group with Brad M. Kelley as lessee, the farm has produced more Kentucky Derby winners than any other operation and won the 1990 Eclipse Award for Outstanding Breeder.
