A colt born at Ramiro Salazar's Phoenix Farm and Racing near Georgetown, Kentucky is the first reported foal for Horse of the Year and Darley stallion Cody's Wish (Curlin–Dance Card, by Tapit). Bred by Frederick & May Construction, the colt made his way into the world Monday, Jan. 6. He is out of three-time graded winner Hotshot Anna (Trappe Shot), a seven-time black-type winner who earned just over $975,000. Frederick & May Construction purchased the mare for $400,000 at the 2022 Keeneland November sale.
Cody's Wish, winner of the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile in both 2022 and 2023, also captured the GI Met Mile, GI Forego Stakes, and GI Churchill Downs Stakes among his 11 career victories. He was named both Horse of the Year and champion older dirt male in 2023. Cody's Wish is slated to stand the 2025 season for $65,000 at Darley near Lexington.
