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 $70,000. (This changes from year to year.)

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.
