Sunday tab: Señor Buscador has last local Saudi Cup work

Señor Buscador, who finished just a neck behind National Treasure when finishing second in the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup Invitational Jan. 27, breezed four furlongs Sunday morning at Gulfstream Park.

The 6-year-old son of Mineshaft has remained at Gulfstream before shipping to the Middle East for a start in the $20 million Saudi Cup (G1) on Feb. 24.

Junior Alvarado was aboard for Sunday morning’s breeze, his final local workout, which was timed in 50.14 seconds.

“It went just the way Todd and I wanted. He went out there and stretched his legs. We wanted to keep him happy. He went around the track very happy, enjoying his workout and gallop out on his own,” said Alvarado, who is scheduled to ride Señor Buscador in the Saudi Cup.

Alvarado was aboard for the Todd Fincher trainee’s impressive rally from 11th in the Pegasus World Cup.

“It was a race I knew I had a very good chance to win, my only concern was making up that much ground on this track,” Alvarado said. “He showed up. He came down the lane running hard. He just came up a couple jumps short. He showed up. He proved he was at the same level with those horses.”

Señor Buscador is a multiple Grade 1 stakes-placed multiple graded-stakes winner with nearly $1.5 million in career earnings.
