Rough'n Tumble (foaled in 1948) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the Santa Anita Derby and went on to become what Bloodhorse magazine called "one of the most successful stallions in Florida breeding history."[1]
Rough'n Tumble was purchased privately by Frances Genter for less than $5000 who then 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, captured the most important race for his age group in California, the Santa Anita Derby [4]
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]
