...Farm has been a front runner in the U.S. racing stakes. Whirlaway, Pensive, Twilight Tear and Armed were the horses that first carried Calumet's devil red and blue to fame & fortune. In the past three years, Calumet's Citation and Coaltown, Fervent and Faultless, Pot o' Luck, Ponder, Bewitch and Wistful have run away from all competition. Other horsemen may not be happy about it, but the public is. Fans know that Calumet is not a betting stable, and that its horses are always sharp when they go to the post for a big race...
...blooded horses runs back a hundred years. All of them will think twice before betting against Citation. He belongs to Calumet Farm, the "baking powder" barn, which has found a magic recipe for raising breadwinners. Calumet owns more than its share of the best horses (Armed, Citation, Coaltown, Bewitch, Fervent) and has the best trainers, the Jones boys?shrewd old Ben ("B.A.") Jones and his son Jimmy. In Jockey Eddie Arcaro they have the best known, most respected and most hated jockey in the land...
...naked eye could tell what the watches verified: that the bay colt was really covering ground. Coaltown worked five furlongs in the fastest training time-:58 2/5-ever run at Keeneland.

...that a free U.S. industry had done in 1947 was brightened by what the controlled economies of the world, notably Britain and Russia, had failed to do. Those who shuddered at the rise in U.S. prices-and thought that there was some painless magic in controls to bewitch inflation and the laws of economics-had only to look at Russia. There, what the London Times called the "baleful Bourbons of Muscovy" ruthlessly tried to end their high prices-and low production-simply by taking spending money away from the people. Nor had the controlled economies been able to supply...
Calumet Farm is as deep in reserves as a Notre Dame football squad. Besides Armed, its stars include a plump little filly named Bewitch, whose high hindquarters make her look as if she were walking downhill. Winner of eight straight races, she is still unbeaten, easily the No. 1 two-year-old of the year. Also on the first team: Fervent, who broke the track record in the $60,000 American Derby; Faultless, the winner of last spring's Preakness...
