Senor Buscador a Possibility for Cigar, Pegasus

Based on how he exits a Nov. 18 workout, grade 2 winner Senor Buscador  could be heading cross country with the Dec. 2 Cigar Mile Handicap (G2) at Aqueduct Racetrack and the Jan. 27 Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes (G1) at Gulfstream Park as possible targets.

Trainer Todd Fincher said Nov. 13 future plans for the seventh-place finisher in the Nov. 4 Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) will be determined after Saturday's work.

"We're looking at the Cigar Mile," he said about the $500,000 stakes at a one-turn mile in New York. "It's a grade 2 and he probably likes the one-turn better so we're going to try that. The Pegasus would be next if everything goes well."

Winner of the San Diego Handicap (G2) in July at Del Mar, the Joe R. Peacock Jr. homebred (co-bred with Joe Peacock Sr.) son of Mineshaft   has won six of 15 starts with earnings of $823,427.

Sent off at 29-1 odds in the Classic, he was last in the field of 12 after a half-mile and wound up seventh, a little more than five lengths behind the victorious White Abarrio .

"He came out of the Classic really well. He just got too far back," Fincher said.

The son of the Desert God  mare Rose's Desert notched his other graded stakes win last year in the Ack Ack Stakes (G3), a one-turn mile test at Churchill Downs.
