Horse racing will be back in the American sports landscape 11 months after American Pharoah captured the first Triple Crown since 1978. And of course, the Kentucky Derby was the biggest step he took along the way before winning the next two races to put himself in the sport's pantheon of greatness.
Will we see more of the same at this year's Kentucky Derby? We don't know, and we don't know how the world will react since we saw the history we'd waited so long for just a year ago.
