2nd-AQU, $85k, Msw, 2yo, 7f, 12:20p.m. ET
From the family of GISW Acoma (Empire Maker) and her half-brother, the late, great GISW Arch (Kris S.), CONQUEST WARRIOR (City of Light) will be the priciest unveiling on the afternoon in New York, carrying a princely $1 million tag from the 2022 KEESEP sale. Racing for Courtlandt Farms under the tutelage of Shug McGaughey, the colt is a half-sibling to a series of winners out of dam MSW Tea Time (Pulpit) including unraced 3-year-old filly Soul Play (Union Rags), who was also purchased from KEESEP by Courtlandt Farms in 2021 for $200,000. This is the family of two-time champion MGISW Covfefe (Into Mischief).

Racing for Gold Square LLC and Tami Bobo will be the grey son of Curlin, Hop Sing, for conditioner Jose D'Angelo. Out of a half-sister to GISW Cupid (Tapit); MGSW Heart Ashley (Lion Heart)–herself dam of MGSW-Jpn Fiano Romano (Aus) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) and that one's full-sibling Ameristralia (Aus), who produced GII Chandelier winner Ain't Easy (Into Mischief); and GSW Ashley's Kitten (Tale of the Cat), Hop Sing can also claim MGSW Kathleen O. and 'TDN Rising Star' GSW & GISP V V's Dream (Mitole) as relatives.

Breaking next to another 'Insight' runner, Jam's Paper Moon (Oscar Performance) will head to post from the Brendan Walsh barn for owner Jamm Ltd. A half-sister to GISW Duopoly (Animal Kingdom), who joined Japan's venerable breeding program when changing hands to Katsumi Yoshida for $1.6m at FTKNOV in 2021, the filly lays claims to a very busy international family including a twice-placed Kitten's Joy half-brother in England.

To her outside is Ms Sedona (Justify), a $300,000 KEESEP procurement for James F Schurman. Trained by Tom Morley, her only other half-sibling to the races is a winning half-sister, but her sire has been red hot on all surfaces this season, so a mile on the turf figures to be right in her wheelhouse. Ms Sedona hails from a female line with a fleet of accomplished runners including the likes of multiple highweight MGSW & G1SP Usherette (Ire); MGSW & MGISP Expansion; and MG1SW Vespone (Ire).

A half-sister to GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf victress Aunt Pearl (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}), Muri (Ire) (Le Havre {Ire}) was a 290,000gns TATOCT purchase by Mike Ryan for Cheyenne Stable in 2022. Her dam, Scandinavian champion Matauri Pearl (Ire), is herself a half-sister to GSW & MGISP-US, GSW & G1SP-Fr Wekeela (Fr) (Hurricane Run {Ire}). G1 Qatar Prix du Cadran victress Molly Malone (Fr) (Lomitas {GB}) and multiple highweight MGSW Morgan Le Faye (GB) (Shamardal) mark the most recent talented runners in a busy European female line.

All Breeders’ Cup Post-Race Test Samples Cleared By HIWU

All post-race test samples taken from contenders in the 2023 Breeders' Cup World Championships Nov. 3-4 at Santa Anita Park have been cleared by the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit (HIWU). Purse distribution has begun accordingly.

2023 marked the first year the Breeders' Cup World Championships were run under the full jurisdiction of the Horseracing Integrity & Safety Authority (HISA), including the Anti-Doping and Medication Control (ADMC) Program, which took effect in May of this year and is implemented and enforced by HIWU.

As was the case under Breeders' Cup's anti-doping and medication control rules that were in place before HISA's ADMC Program was implemented, medication is prohibited within 48 hours of the 14 Championship races and the undercard. All potential Breeders' Cup competitors were also subject to out-of-competition testing for banned substances.

Cigar Mile, Pegasus Among Next Options For Senor Buscador

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.
