Rough'n Tumble (foaled in 1948) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the Santa Anita Derby and became what Bloodhorse called "one of the most successful stallions in Florida breeding history." [1]

Contents

Rough'n Tumble was purchased privately for less than $5000 by Frances Genter, who entrusted his race conditioning to trainer Melvin Calvert. [2]

As a two-year-old, Rough'n Tumble won the Primer Stakes at Arlington Park [3] and at three, he captured the most important race for his age group in California: the Santa Anita Derby. [4]

Stud record

Among Rough'n Tumble's best progeny were Dr. Fager (b. 1964), a U.S. Racing Hall of Fame millionaire; My Dear Girl (b. 1957), the 1959 American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly; plus multiple stakes winners Conestoga, Flag Raiser, Ruffled Feathers, and Yes You Will. [5]
