About the Author:

Paul Halloran, a 40-year journalist and communications professional who writes for The Saratoga Special, Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred Magazine and thisishorseracing.com, first came upon the Cody’s Wish story when covering the Forego Stakes at Saratoga in August 2022. He developed an immediate connection with Cody’s parents and approached them with the idea for a book at the beginning of 2023. They quickly agreed and Paul started researching the book, traveling with the family to races in Kentucky, New York and California and seeing first-hand the profound impact of this special boy and special horse.
