This is the heart-stirring true story of a champion racehorse, a courageous boy, and the wish that united them. In 2018 Cody Dorman had already beaten the odds when, at age 13, he was introduced to a five-month-old Thoroughbred foal through Make-A-Wish. Born with Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome, Cody had undergone more than 40 operations, including two open-heart surgeries before he was three.

There was an instant connection between teenage Cody and the curious foal, one so impactful that the young colt was named Cody’s Wish. Two years later, Cody’s Wish had grown up to become a strong and spirited racehorse, yet that unexplainable connection never wavered. Each time they met — in the paddock, on the backstretch, in the winner’s circle — the bond between the strapping 1,100-pound horse and the 70-pound boy was obvious as they would lock eyes and Cody’s Wish would recognize his human namesake and walk over to put his head in the wheelchair-bound boy’s lap.

Written from the insider’s perspective of veteran racing journalist Paul Halloran with foreword by the acclaimed NBC sports announcer Tom Hammond, the book follows the compelling story of Cody, his family and Cody’s Wish and the drama that played during 2022 and 2023 at racetracks from Saratoga to Santa Anita as the horse became a champion and 2-time Secretariat “Vox Populi” Award winner

Cody’s Wish: A Boy, a Racehorse, and a Fight for Life, is the only book authorized by the Dorman family and gives testament to the resilience, triumph, and love found in the inexplicable yet undeniable bond between a courageous boy and the champion racehorse he considered his best friend.
