Very happy to talk about the Cody’s Wish book at the Maryland Horse Library & Education Center on Monday night. Maryland has such an important role in Thoroughbred racing’s past, present and future. Looking forward to coming back for the new Pimlico!

Got to see my fellow @hhhracingpod friend and co-host @pkhcomm talk about his wonderful book Cody's Wish: A Boy, a Racehorse, and a Fight for Life at the Maryland Horse Library & Education Center.
He did a fantastic job wowing the room with his story writing the book.

Great time in Saratoga Springs promoting @CodysWishBook at Therapeutic Horses of Saratoga, the Saratoga Senior Center and Impressions of Saratoga.
Pleased to meet people from throughout the country, including Laurie Gordon, whose daughter, @SaraChristineG, is a shining star in Thoroughbred racing media!
The next generation: The sons and daughters of Cody’s Wish have been very popular at the sales. Of course they have. This wonderful story lives on. Read the story behind the story at the link in our bio.

Book signing at Saratoga Race Course Friday. Thanks to jockey @JuniorandKellyA for joining me. And Michael Germano and Jimmy Girardi, with whom I have been blessed to share 102 years combined of friendship. (We’re old; leave us alone.) Signing this morning at Impressions of Saratoga on Broadway. Stop by if you are in town! @codyswishbook @LeslieDorman6

Author Paul Halloran enjoyed a special hometown stop on his Cody’s Wish book tour at the Lynn Museum. A full house, great conversation, and a memorable evening made the event truly special.

Paul will be sharing the story behind the book and signing copies. Books will be available on-site, or you can grab one in advance at codyswishbook.com.
If you’re heading to the last Belmont Stakes at Saratoga, before you go to the track make sure to visit the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame across the street to get your Cody’s Wish book signed. Books will also be available for purchase!
Most Saturdays, author Paul Halloran would head to the Coworking space at the Staples at Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers to write, quietly crafting a story that means more than words on a page. Along the way, he’d send photos to the Dorman family.
Also in Columbia, we stopped at Egypt Christian Church for a book signing with the Dorman family. Grateful for the warm welcome and fabulous meal! Keep an eye out for future events at codyswishbook.com.
“I want people to look at it as a story about resilience and a story about hope,” says author Paul Halloran of ‘Cody’s Wish: A Boy, a Racehorse, and a Fight for Life.’

It was great to bring the book tour to Columbia, where the Dormans grew up. The first stop was at Day & Day Feed Mill, where Columbia Mayor Pamela Hoots was the first one in line!

Home from an action-packed long weekend in the Bluegrass. Sincerely grateful for all those who came out to one of the 5 book signings. Started off with an SRO crowd at the @KeenelandLib which means more to me than I can adequately express. Then the spectacular Hotel Thoroughbred in Paris, Day & Day and Egypt Christian Church in Columbia and Richmond Arts Council. We're off! @codyswishbook
A spectacular stop on the book tour at the new Hotel Thoroughbred in Paris, KY. The conversation, moderated by Chris Poynter, who owns the racing-themed hotel with his family, featured an engaging discussion with Paul Halloran and the Dorman family.

Great trip to Lexington where my fellow Green Coat @keeneland Jim Navolio gave me a signed copy by @pkhcomm! It is a must read for racing and non-racing fans. Thanks Paul for mentioning Jim, @KeenelandJIm@BuffBradley1 and me in the acknowledgement section of his 📕 book!

There are many reasons I look forward to going to Keeneland twice a year and here are two of them. Great guys who epitomize the spirit of Racing As It Was Meant To Be that Keeneland promotes.
