Cody Dorman, who was closely associated with dual Breeders' Cup winner Cody's Wish, has died.

The teenager, who was born with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome — a rare genetic condition that meant he could not speak and was wheelchair-bound — had been a key part of the Cody's Wish journey since Bill Mott's five-year-old was a foal.
