Retired Whirlaway Ends Hall of Fame Career
Owner Warren Wright of Calumet Stables retires Whirlaway the legendary Thoroughbred after a disappointing season ending with a fifth place at Washington Park. The horse will be sent to Calumet Farm in Kentucky and enter stud next spring alongside his sire Blenheim II. Whirlaway, nicknamed Whirly, earned record earnings and dominated 1941 through major races including the Kentucky Derby Preakness and Belmont Stakes. Trainer Ben Jones calls the retirement a humane choice after leg injuries and a failed return to form.
