2. American Pharoah Wins Triple Crown 

Any hot takes that a critic could have had about whether or not horse American Pharoah should be considered an athlete were silenced for at least a time when Pharoah made history and won the Triple Crown. Pharoah did not just complete the historic feat that cemented his spot as a household name in the sports world for as long as the Triple Crown remains in existence. The horse left no doubt when all was said and done, winning the Belmont in style. Pharoah has now raced for the final time, but his legacy as the greatest horse to date of his generation is set in stone.
