Kalitan (1914 – 1935) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the 1917 Preakness Stakes.
That race drew a full field even though it was held on the same day as the Kentucky Derby that was won by Omar Khayyam.
Breaking from post position five, Kalitan started at odds of 10-1 under jockey Everett Haynes and settled in third behind leader Fruit Cake and Jock Scot passing the grand stand for the first time.
Around the far turn, he drew away and won by two lengths, easing up prior to the finish.
[3] Kalitan stood for most of his stud career at the Lookover Stallion Station in Avon, New York.
