That would be awesome if they could do that for them.

No sponsor, just rename it. The Cody Dorman Breeders Cup Dirt mile has a nice ring to it!

Was he even aware at the BC ? I don’t think so…..

I see this story another way…..

Perhaps so. I read the article from “This is Horse Racing”. It described Cody telling his dad he was ready to die a couple years ago.

If so, I’m glad he got to leave on his own terms. And I hope I can face death with 1/100th of his dignity and acceptance.

Although the cognitive-behavioral features of individuals with WHS have not been studied systematically, a few studies have been performed that are beginning to look at these behavioral characteristics.

In one study, children with WHS were found to be more severely impacted cognitively and had lower overall adaptive behavior than children with other deletion syndromes. However, this study also found that children with WHS often have strengths in socialization skills and are less likely to have autistic-like features than children with other deletion syndromes.

Another study, which examined a larger population of children, adolescents, and adults with WHS, found a very large range of cognitive-behavioral symptoms exhibit by individuals with WHS. Some individuals showed decreased communication and expressive language skills, while others showed advanced expressive language skills.
