Chatterton (foaled 1919) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse, best known as the leading sire in North America of 1932, when his son Faireno won the Belmont Stakes.
[2][3] Chatterton is a full brother to the notable broodmare Étoile Filante, whose family has produced multiple stakes winners such as Grindstone and Silverbulletday.
[4] During his racing career, Chatterton was owned by Frank Kelley and was trained by Charles Van Meter.
Chatterton had a three length lead at the head of the stretch and managed to hold off a late charge from Rockminster to win by a neck.
In 1932, he stood at Arrowbrook Farm in Illinois but returned to Claiborne in 1933 after Faireno's win in the 1932 Belmont Stakes helped make him the leading sire in North America.
