In Memory Of
Bryan Bushey
Founder of Bush Racing Stable
In 2004, Bryan Bushey founded Bush Racing Stable with a single claimed racehorse and a dream. What began as a “one-horse stable” grew into one of the Mid-Atlantic’s most respected racing operations. Over the years, the stable became a consistent top owner at Penn National, captured the track’s Leading Owner title, and campaigned numerous stakes winners, graded stakes winner, and Persie, National Claiming Horse of the Year, who now enjoys retirement at Old Friends in Kentucky.
Bryan believed racing was built on people. He was deeply grateful for the trainers, jockeys, grooms, hotwalkers, exercise riders, veterinarians, farriers, and barn staff whose dedication made every success possible. To him, they weren’t just part of the team. They were family.
While he loved the winner’s circle, where he became known for his year-round plaid shorts and signature thumbs-up, Bryan was happiest in the barn. Whether feeding carrots to the horses, checking in with the staff, or hosting his legendary “Sausage Saturdays,” he found joy in the everyday moments and the relationships that made the sport so special.
Bryan’s greatest legacy isn’t measured by trophies or purse earnings, but by the people he brought together and the culture he created at Bush Racing Stable. His passion, generosity, integrity, and unwavering love for Thoroughbred racing continue to guide our stable today.
See ya in the winner’s circle, Bryan!
