Joseph Horace "Bud" Stotler (June 26, 1888 – October 14, 1957) was a German American Thoroughbred horse racing Champion trainer who conditioned horses that won four Championships. Commonly known as "Bud," he began working in the horse racing business in his native Pennsylvania where he first conditioned horses for a stable owner from his hometown of Salisbury. He eventually moved to compete on the Maryland circuit which at the time was a major player in Thoroughbred racing offering some of the best purses at a number of high-profile racetracks such as Pimlico Race Course, Bowie Race Track, Laurel Park and the Timonium Racetrack.
