‘Magical Beyond Words’: Reflections on a Special Bond Between Cody Dorman and Cody’s Wish

08.04.2023

Riding a six-race winning streak, top racehorse Cody’s Wish is favored to win the Whitney Stakes Aug. 5 at Saratoga Race Course. The horse will have an incredible amount of support coming from all corners of the racing world, starting with Cody Dorman and his family.

Dorman, who was born with a rare genetic disorder called Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, first met Cody’s Wish when the now 5-year-old was a foal, and the horse was named after Dorman to reflect a lasting bond that formed starting with that first encounter. Cody’s father Kelly and jockey Junior Alvarado reflect on the journey this special horse has taken the family and everyone else over the past few years.
