DELAHAYE (f, 3, Medaglia d'Oro–Bella Carina, by War Front) was last seen missing by a neck on debut in February at Gulfstream Park. Rewarded as the 3-5 choice here, the dark bay was taken back into second along the rail as she passed the grandstand, waited for her cue around the far turn and she powered past War Princess (War Front) to triumphantly return to the races. Her unraced dam's first progeny, the winner has a yearling half-brother by Not This Time and an April half-brother by Gun Runner. Not bred for next year, Bella Carina counts as half-siblings MGSW Valid (Medaglia d'Oro) and GI Ruffian Invitational H. victress Malibu Prayer (Malibu Moon), who herself produced $1.2 million Keeneland September buy from last year Cartucho (Gun Runner). Under Delahaye's third dam we find GI Carter H. hero Swagger Jack (Smart Strike) and his older half-sister GSW Tap Dance (Pleasant Tap). Sales History: $550,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP.

Cody’s Wish To Stand For $75,000, Proxy For $25,000 Says Darley America

MGISW Cody's Wish (Curlin), who just won yesterday's GI Big Ass Fans Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile for the second year in a row, will stand at Darley America's Jonabell Farm in Lexington, Kentucky next season for $75,000, along with fellow new stallion GISW Proxy (Tapit) whose fee will be set at $25,000, the breeding operation said in a release early Sunday morning.

“You couldn't have written a better script on how Cody's Wish would end his sensational career,” said Darley Sales Manager Darren Fox. “He always, always, left all he had on the track. And the human component of this story makes it all that more special. And with the addition of the ever-consistent, GI-winning Proxy to our roster, we once again have two more excellent homebreds joining us for the 2024 breeding season.”

The son of Curlin, who captured hearts through his relationship with Cody Dorman, won 11 of 16 starts and was never off of the board. His three other GI wins were in the Met Mile, Forego S. and Churchill Downs S. and the 5-year-old will retire with earnings in excess of $3 million. Cody's Wish is out of GI Frizette S. winner Dance Card, who was third in the GI Breeders' Cup F&M Sprint.

As for Proxy, he won six times over 20 starts, including victories in the GI Clark S. at Churchill Downs and a runner-up finish in the GI Santa Anita H. Yesterday in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic, the 5-year-old son of Tapit rallied to secure third place.
