Biography:
Calumet Evelyn, developed and driven by Vic Fleming for the McConville Brothers of Ogdensburg, New York, was a Guy Abbey-Marion Scott filly, foaled in 1931. As a four-year-old, the double-gaited mare paced three heats at Lexington in 1:59 1/4, 1:59 1/2 and 2:00 3/4, and then, four days later, trotted the mile in 2:00. Calumet Evelyn later lowered her trotting mark to 1:59 1/2, which, together with her pacing time, stood as a double-gaited record until 1959.
