...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.
