ELMONT, N.Y. -- Guided Tour, who will run in Saturday's $4 million Breeders' Cup Classic at Belmont Park, was sold this week to the Fustok brothers' Buckram Oak Farm, according to Morton Fink, the majority partner in Guided Tour.

Fink, reached Thursday morning at his office in Chicago, said Guided Tour would run Saturday listed as jointly owned by Buckram Oak and Fink, and would race in Fink's colors. But Fink would not elaborate on details of the transaction beyond Saturday, though it is assumed Buckram Oak would take possession of the 5-year-old gelding.

"There's a chance that would happen," Fink said.

Niall O'Callaghan, who trains Guided Tour, said he believed the Fustoks, Mahmoud and Mustafa, acquired Guided Tour with an eye on the King's Cup, a prestigious race open solely to horses owned by the ruling family of Saudi Arabia. That race is early next year.

Buckram Oak has a farm near Lexington, Ky.

Guided Tour has won 12 of 29 starts and $1,884,253.
