Breyer Cody’s Wish Racehorse Make-A-Wish

Description

Thoroughbred racehorse Cody’s Wish is a living embodiment of dreams fulfilled. Not only has this bay stallion proven himself as a consistent winner on the track, but also a symbol of hope for a special young man.

2018 saw Cody’s Wish foaled. That same year he met Cody Dorman, a Kentucky boy living with a genetic disorder. As part of his wish experience, Cody met a racehorse when a trip to Gainsborough Farm was arranged for him by Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

During that visit Cody connected with a weanling that walked up to him and put its head in his lap. Inspired by the sights that day, the owners named the colt Cody’s Wish.

The 2022 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile was an especially emotional day, where the horse’s achievements and Cody’s inspiring story gained national attention. Following his win, Cody’s Wish received the 2022 Secretariat Vox Populi Award, which recognizes racehorses whose stories and achievements resound with the public.
