Pegasus Saudi Cup Redux: Buscador and Alvarado Team Up for Possible Win
Last year, when Senor Buscador, the talented racehorse, finished as a brave runner-up in the Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park, there was cause for great celebration. But the real excitement came when this homebred triumphed in the Saudi Cup, halfway across the world. The success was so tremendous that owner Joey Peacock, alongside trainer Todd Fincher and jockey Junior Alvarado, is considering another shot at the Pegasus-Saudi Cup double. They’re thinking about making it happen again!
Senor Buscador, now seven years old, had planned to retire after the Pegasus race and focus on a career in breeding. But plans might change, as word has it that Alvarado will be back in the saddle for these upcoming races. Despite facing some injuries in the past, this horse has been in good health under Fincher’s watchful eye. With Alvarado as his jockey, hopes are high for a successful run in the Pegasus and potentially another win in Saudi Arabia.
The team is keeping an open mind when it comes to business decisions and potential opportunities. Peacock has shown willingness to consider different arrangements – just like the two-race lease he struck last year with Saudi businessman Sharaf Mohammed S. Al-Hariri. And when it comes to Senor Buscador’s future as a sire, the details are still under wraps as negotiations continue.
With his remarkable racing career as a guide, Senor Buscador’s future looks bright and full of possibilities. Stay tuned for more thrilling updates on this incredible horse and his journey ahead!
