The real John 'Red' Pollard was born in Canada but spent most of his life in America. At 5'7" Pollard was much bigger than most jockies and resorted to desperate measures to keep his weight down. Pollard tented to have rotten luck, many accidents, some life threatening but still he would come back to ride again. Pollard finally hit his stride when introduced to a nasty-tempered horse named Seabiscuit. And the rest is history.

Pollard had a difficult life at times. He struggled with alcohol addiction, injuries, and lack of money. He eventually married and had children, he died in 1981.
