Calumet Chuck was bred & foaled at Calumet Farm, Lexington, KY in 1929. Sold at Old Glory Nov 1931 for $19,500 top price at the sale. He was by Truax-Sumatra. He took his record, 2:04, as a two-year-old in a grueling four-heat race against top horses. Because of this race, a new ruling was made that two-year-olds may race only two out of three heats. He did not return to form as a three-year-old and was sold to Hanover Shoe Farms, where he was retired to stud. His most famous offspring was the 1975 Immortal Nibble Hanover, 1:58¾. He remained a top sire at Hanover until his death March 25, 1943.
Sired 97 trotters, 40 pacers.
