Landon Campbell trains the seven-year-old for owners Savage Stable, Brent Campbell and Ryan MacLeod.

The Backstretch Beat goes with Roll Em.
“Roll Em was a force last season and has started to regain that top form in recent outings. Drops from Invitational company into this event and that should be a recipe to go right down the highway to the winner’s circle.”
