Busher Stakes

Busher Stakes

The Busher Stakes is a race for thoroughbred horses run early in the year at Aqueduct Racetrack on Long Island, New York. A Grade III stakes for three-year-old fillies, it covers a distance of one mile and ond sixteenth on the dirt, and is considered a prep for the Kentucky Oaks. It offers a purse of $80,000 added. (This changes from year to year.)

The race was run at one mile in 1978 and 1979, but at a mile and an eighth from 1985 through 1992. It was not run at all in 1986 and 1987.

Inaugurated in 1978, the Busher is run in honor of the splendid Hall of Fame filly, Busher, who ran in 1944/45 and was the Horse of the Year in 1945.
