Trivia: Sire of Modern Youth, the 1936 colt that Red Pollard fatefully agreed to breeze for an old friend at Suffolk Downs; the colt spooked and went over the outside rail, then through the barn area; Pollard's leg was nearly severed in the mishap and he missed Seabiscuit's match race with War Admiral. Sadly, there seems to be no interest in reporting on the eventual fate of the colt, Modern Youth.
