Like Dolly Levi, American Pharoah is back where he belongs – home, sweet home, Santa Anita.

And the Pharoah will be parading there for the faithful between races on Gold Cup at Santa Anita Day.

“We want to thank American Pharoah’s owner, Ahmed Zayat, and his trainer, Bob Baffert, for being so incredibly generous in sharing this horse with fans from coast to coast,’ said Santa Anita Chairman Keith Brackpool. “We’re excited to present him to the public on June 27. It should make for a tremendous day for those joining us on track and on television throughout the world.”

Meanwhile, the scramble continues among racetracks to line up AP for their events. Ahmed Zayat – who no doubt is playing one track off against another to up the ante – has tweeted that the Travers Stakes in Saratoga (Aug. 29) is in the lead for the Pharoah’s first post-Triple Crown race.

Call it the horse race within the horse race.
