THERE ARE FEW PLACES in the world as eclectic as Kentucky.

Like many who follow the Sport of Kings closely, there was a piece of me that thought it would never happen again. Then, on June 6, 2015, an equine named American Pharoah blazed across Belmont Park;s sandy straightaway, straight into history. At long last, the wait was finally over.

Okay, this column might ruin your fun if you are a craps player. That is correct. As a busy-bodied gambling writer I want everyone to see craps the way I see it because, well, I am right.
