This year marks the 45th running of the Busanda Stakes. The races’s namesake was a mare who excelled both on the track and in the breeding shed.  A 1947 daughter of Triple Crown winner War Admiral, bred by Ogden Phipps, her female line was just as regal….

This year’s edition of the Busanda was originally scheduled for January 21, but was postponed because it did not originally fill.  Rescheduled for Thursday, January 25, the race drew six entries to vie for a $100,000 purse, plus Road to the Kentucky Oaks points (10-4-2-1) for the top four finishers.
