Senor Buscador

Senor Buscador won his career debut convincingly Nov. 6, 2020, at Remington Park, where he closed from last to first to win by 2 ½ lengths in a 5 ½-furlong sprint.

The Mineshaft colt made his stakes debut Dec. 18 in the Remington Springboard Mile. Again rated last of 10 early by jockey Luis Quinonez, Senor Buscador launched his winning bid approaching the stretch and swept past nine opponents with a powerful rally to win by 5 ¾ lengths.

After a lengthy layoff, Senor Buscador was returned to the races on July 3, 2022, to begin his 4-year-old season with a two-length allowance score at Lone Star Park. From there, trainer Todd Fincher brought him out west for two graded stakes starts at Del Mar, first in the Grade 2 San Diego Handicap where he finished eighth, and then in the Grade 2 Pat O'Brien on Aug. 27, where he closed for a third-place finish at seven furlongs.

Senor Buscador made his next start at Churchill Downs in the Grade 3 $300,000 Ack Ack Stakes at one mile.  Sent off as the 6-1 third choice in the wagering, Senor Buscador closed from the back of the pack to get up in time for a 1 1/4-length victory in a time of 1:34.60. The Ack Ack was a Breeders' Cup Challenge Win and You're In qualifying race for the Big Ass Fans Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, securing Senor Buscador a spot in the starting gate at Keeneland on Nov. 4. 

In his subsequent start in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, Senor Buscador raced near the back of the pack from the start and finished eighth in the nine-horse field.

A half-brother to graded stakes winner Runway Ghost, Senor Buscador is one of three stakes winners produced by seven-time stakes winner Rose’s Desert, by Desert God.
