“We're obviously thrilled that the first foal by Modernist is such a good one,” Darby Dan Farm manager Charlie McKinlay said. “This stallion has been very well-received and supported by his shareholders and breeders alike. He's a very well-bred horse from the Wygod family program and comes from really good horses like [champion] Sweet Catomine (Storm Cat) and [Breeders' Cup winner] Life is Sweet (Storm Cat). We're really looking forward to more Modernist foals arriving.”

Modernist, who is out of the unraced Symbolic Gesture (Bernardini), competed for three seasons and earned $576,300 from a career line of 11-3-2-2. He won the 2020 GII Risen Star S. and 2021 GII Excelsior S. and placed in three other graded events.
