Events we may never see again in racing..
1.Back to back triple crown winners like 77-78
2.3 year old filly finishing in the money in all 3 triple crown races-Geniune Risk.
3.3 triple crown winners in the same decade accomplished in the 70's
4.Winning horse of the year 5 times like Kelso
5.Secretariat's Belmont performance.

A mare running in back-to-back Breeders Cup Classics...and coming within a diminishing neck of bagging a double.

Only one mentioned so far that I've been alive to witness. Her first Classic could go down in history on the trip alone.

The way racing has been churning out quality females as of late and lesser quality males, I wouldn't be too sure about this one..

I'm not sure we won't see #2 ever again. Given a chance Rags To Riches or Rachel Alexandra were capable of doing it. No reason to think there won't be more especially since the colts are rather ordinary in recent years.
Don't think we're going to experience anything like the 70's again.

A horse winning the Santa Anita Handicap and the Arlington Million twice.
A horse being voted HOTY, Champion Older Male, Turf Male, and Sprinter in the same year.
A 3yo filly doing what Rachel Alexandra did.
A horse running 1-1/2 miles at Belmont in 2:24 flat.
Those are just a few that come to mind.
