20 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 12.15 THE BIT WE LOVE American Pharoah became the frst horse to win the racing Grand Slam (the Triple Crown and the Breeders' Cup Classic). He also won over pop culture. Never mind his Travers Stakes loss in New York in August. After all, Pharoah was busy with his Vogue photo shoot at Churchill Downs. When rumors swirled that the racehorse would grace the cover, the fashion magazine teased readers on Instagram with a fake cover. After the Kentucky Thoroughbred's Triple Crown win, Sports Illustrated's cover captured the excitement from the crowd's perspective — a sea of camera phones held high, documenting the end of a 37-year dry spell. Happy retirement/ procreating, Phar! You've earned it. QUESTION FOR A KID What was the best thing to happen in Louisville 2015? "My birthday. It was Aug. 16. I got to play on the Tumblebus.
