This print has been in storage since 1967 and has slight discolorations around the print border which does not distract from the beauty of the print and would be easily covered up when matted and framed.

A considerable factor in the recent rise of Florida breeding has been the stud accomplishments of the Ocala Stud stallion Rough’n Tumble. Bred in Kentucky by Dr. Charles E. Hagyard, the son of Free for all – Roused, by *Bull Dog, was purchased privately by Mrs. Frances A. Genter, for whom he raced under the training of Melvin “Sunshine” Calvert.

Rough’n Tumble won his first two starts, including the Primer Stakes; and was never unplaced in seven efforts as a juvenile. He ran second in the Garden State Stakes and Remsen Handicap, and third in the Futurity, to earn $25,230 that season.

At three he won the rich Santa Anita Derby, placed in the Sheridan Handicap and showed in the San Felipe Stakes, to collect $101,750.

Before the unsoundness that had plagued him throughout his racing career ended it, he gleaned $126,980 from four wins, five seconds and four thirds in 16 starts.

Standing first in Maryland, and since 1956 in Florida, the now syndicated stallion was represented by 26 winners of 122 races and about $750,000 to the end of 1960 in his first four crops to reach the races.

Among his outstanding offspring have been My Dear Girl, champion two-year-old filly of 1959 with victories in the Florid Breeders’ and Gardenia Stakes, and Frizette Handicap: Yes You Will, captor of the Burch Memorial, Abraham Lincoln, John B. Campbell, Carter and Jennings Handicaps; the Kentucky Oaks victor Wedlock; Conestoga, hero of the Seashore Stakes, Ventor Turf, Atlantic City and King Neptune Handicaps: the jumper Ragtime Cowboy, scorer in the L. E. Stoddard, Jr., Stakes and Elkridge Hurdle Handicap; and the stakes-placed Look of Eagles, Wayward Bird, Carrolton, Tara Tella, Rough Tempo and In the Country.
