Breeders’ Cup Presents Connections: ‘I Never Thought We’d Be Able To Go Twice’ Sponsored by:
Senor Buscador wins the $200,000 Springboard Mile by 5 3/4 lengths under Luis Quinonez
When longtime family friend and Thoroughbred trainer Todd Fincher starts throwing around labels like “really special,” owner/breeder Joe Peacock, Jr. definitely starts to get his hopes up.
“That actually makes me more nervous,” said Peacock, 62, chuckling genially. “Todd doesn t generally talk about horses like that.”
Fincher was describing a 2-year-old colt who, at that point, had done little more than break his maiden over suspect company in a 5 ½-furlong contest at Remington Park. Third-generation Peacock homebred Senor Buscador missed the break in that race, rallied six wide and got up to win by 2 ½ lengths, but his final time of 1:03.78 wasn t particularly newsworthy.
