Following a seventh-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Classic, Todd Fincher trainee Senor Buscador is being aimed at the $500,000 Cigar Mile on Dec. 2 at Aqueduct Racetrack, according to bloodhorse.com.
“It's a grade 2 and he probably likes the one-turn better so we're going to try that,” Fincher told bloodhorse.com. “The Pegasus would be next if everything goes well.”
The Pegasus World Cup, offering a purse of $3 million for older horses going 1 1/8 miles, will be held at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 27.
Senor Buscador boasts two graded stakes wins on his resume: the G3 Ack Ack at Churchill in 2022, and the G2 San Diego Handicap at Del Mar in 2023. Overall, the 5-year-old son of Mineshaft has won six of his 15 career starts for earnings of $823,427.
Senor Buscador is a third generation homebred for the Peacock family; the intact horse is out of the Desert God mare Rose's Desert, a multiple stakes-winning New Mexico-bred also trained by Fincher.
