Calvert said he would like to get one race under Roughn Tumbles belt before then — if he can. "But if he doesnt get a prep," Calvert added, "he still is a likely starter in the Warren Wright Memorial. We dont intend to hurry him back to the races. Were taking our time." Calvert has another stake horse in his string — the four-year-old Unbridled — which he says he plans to start in the Myrtlewood Handicap, opening-day 5,000 feature at Arlington Park Monday.
