NBC had a wonderful segment on Cody's Wish and the backstory of Cody and his family just before the G1 Churchill Downs Stakes. The bond between the horse and this brave young man makes you marvel at the exceptional sensitivity of some animals.

It was only fitting that Cody's Wish should come from off of the pace to win the race - Hollywood couldn't have scripted it any better. The winner's circle presentation was great to watch.

Agreed. It got me. Very emotional.

Best part of the entrie racing day. The rest ws very dissapointing, especially the Derby result. Good for Venezuela though.
