Rain has been known to dampen the spirits of many a person.

Cody’s Wish was honored as Horse of the Year at the 53rd annual Eclipse Awards, held Jan. 25 at The Breakers Palm Beach in Palm Beach, Fla., culminating a career that saw the Godolphin homebred become one of the most popular racehorses of this century, based in large part through his association with the late Cody Dorman.

The Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes Presented by Baccarat has become in eight years a major date on the Thoroughbred racing calendar. Positioned after the Breeders’ Cup World Championships and before the Triple Crown trail heats up, Pegasus World Cup day has been a welcome addition for racing fans and bettors alike.

The racing world will be watching Oaklawn Park with great interest Jan. 28, when Olivier, the full brother of 2022 Horse of the Year Flightline, is scheduled to make his career debut in the fifth race, a six-furlong, $115,000 maiden special weight race.

The National Thoroughbred Racing Association, National Turf Writers and Broadcasters (NTWAB), and Daily Racing Form announced today that for the second year in a row, the heartwarming story of Cody’s Wish has been voted the 2023 FanDuel Racing-NTRA Moment of the Year based on the results of nearly 4,000 votes cast via Twitter and an online poll.
