Buddhist (1886 – December 30, 1893) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1889 Preakness Stakes at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland.[1][2][3] Buddhist's sire and dam were Hindoo and Emma Hanly.[1] Buddhist's was bred in Kentucky by Ezekiel F. Clay & Catesby Woodford and his owner was Samuel S. Brown. He was trained by future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, John W. Rogers.[1]

Buddhist's jockey, George "Spider" Anderson, is considered among the great African American jockeys in horse racing history.[according to whom?] On May 10, 1889, Anderson and Buddhist finished the race with an astonishing time of 2:17.50 and became the 17th winners of the Preakness Stakes.[3] Buddhist made Preakness history by having one of the largest winning margins when he won the race by eight lengths.[1] Buddhist died in a stable fire on December 30, 1893, that also killed 11 other horses at C. V. Hollar's Bishop Farm.[4][5]
