Buddhist (horse)

Buddhist's jockey, George "Spider" Anderson, is considered among the great 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. Buddhist made Preakness history by having one of the largest winning margins when he won the race by eight lengths. Buddhist died in a stable fire on December 30, 1893, that also killed 11 other horses at C. V. Hollar's Bishop Farm.
