Dorman and Cody's Wish made their first connection during a family's visit in October 2018 to Godolphin's Gainsborough Farm, which was arranged by Keeneland with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. During this visit, farm manager Danny Mulvihill wanted Dorman to meet a foal but was concerned the young man's wheelchair might be too scary. He chose an unnamed son of Curlin and a Godolphin homebred.
"He was a nice, quiet, laid-back foal," Mulvihill recalled with Tom Pedulla for America's Best Racing. "It was very important from my point of view to see if we could get a foal close to Cody, knowing he was in a wheelchair."
After the young colt sniffed around the boy and wheelchair, he laid his head onto Dorman's lap and the tie between them was sealed. Godolphin named the colt Cody's Wish in Dorman's honor.
