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 breeder was Clay & Woodford and his owner was Samuel S. Brown. And was trained by John W. Rogers.[1]

Buddhist's jockey, George B. "Spider" Anderson, is considered one of the greatest African American jockeys in horse racing history. 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 margin winnings. Buddhist won his 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]
