Last June, Espinoza was aboard California Chrome during his Triple Crown run that ended with a fourth-place finish in the Belmont. In 2002, he and trainer Bob Baffert teamed up with War Emblem to win the Kentucky Derby and Preakness before their Triple try ended when the colt stumbled out of the starting gate in the Belmont and finished eighth. Now, Espinoza and Baffert are back again with a colt many believed is poised to become the 12th Triple Crown winner and first since Affirmed in 1978. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)
