He was a month shy of his 18th birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cody and his family were celebrating Cody\u2019s 18th birthday a month early when they came to Santa Anita Park to see his BFF run in the Breeders\u2019 Cup Dirt Mile. During this special event, the horse, who was running his last race, won by a nose and also had to endure a five-minute inquiry after there was bumping between him and National Treasure down the stretch. As they waited in suspense, Cody was down in the winner\u2019s circle, a place he had frequented on several other occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are heartbroken to share the news that our beloved Cody suffered a medical event on our trip home to Kentucky [Sunday] and he has passed away,\u201d Kelly and Leslie Dorman, Cody\u2019s parents, said in a statement. Cody was born with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a genetic disorder that can leave a person without the ability to walk or communicate. He was not expected to live past the age of 2. He nearly made it to adulthood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3QNRBAs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Amazon Black Friday Deals Today!\">Amazon Black Friday Deals Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=as_ss_li_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=billyho-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=B09RRKSZ29&#038;asins=B09RRKSZ29&#038;linkId=32acd524e1fe8c44c50b336792894cbb&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"587\" src=\"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2-Cody-Dorman-Article-Pic-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2-Cody-Dorman-Article-Pic-2.jpg 816w, https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2-Cody-Dorman-Article-Pic-2-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2-Cody-Dorman-Article-Pic-2-768x552.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bond Was Real<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dorman&#8217;s remarkable journey with the horse began several years ago, following a heartwarming encounter during Make-A-Wish Day at Keeneland. Cody, along with his family, received a heartfelt invitation to Godolphin\u2019s Gainsborough Farm in Versailles. It was there that they met a striking, brown colt that would forever change their lives. Over time, an extraordinary bond formed between Cody and the colt, a bond so profound that the farm decided to christen the horse &#8216;Cody\u2019s Wish&#8217; in honor of their unbreakable connection. Since then, this remarkable relationship has continued to flourish and inspire all who witness it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cody&#8217;s Wish finished his career with 11 wins in 16 starts, including 7 graded stakes victories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FV8ym0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Amazon Black Friday Deals Today!\">Amazon Black Friday Deals Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Laptop-Deals-1024x481.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Laptop-Deals-1024x481.png 1024w, https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Laptop-Deals-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Laptop-Deals-768x361.png 768w, https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Laptop-Deals.png 1357w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little Cody touched us all in many ways, let&#8217;s keep his spirt alive by donating so another little boy or&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":246,"href":"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185\/revisions\/246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/billyhosports.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
