The opportunity the horse gave them to do something they had never done before was heartwarming, and the way the horse racing industry, racetracks, and fans embraced them was incredible," Banahan said. "The Dormans were an inspiration to a lot of families who are also facing difficult situations in their lives. It was an unbelievable experience. Even when we lost at Saratoga there was so much love for Cody. It was a great day for the family."
Tragically, Cody Dorman lost his battle for life on the trip home to Kentucky the day after the Nov. 4 Dirt Mile. He was 17 and left behind a legacy that for years will be attached to a Thoroughbred acclaimed as Horse of the Year.
