Appearance
Brian A. Mayberry (March 8, 1938 - July 20, 1998) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse trainer noted as a top race conditioner of two-year-olds.[1]
Mayberry was the son of a trainer and the grandson of John P. Mayberry who saddled Judge Himes to win the 1903 Kentucky Derby. Brian Mayberry never started a horse in the Derby but on the day before the big race in 1994, he won the prestigious Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs with Sardula.[2] [3]
Jockey Martin Pedroza's first three winners were trained by the late Brian Mayberry, for whom he named one of his sons. [4]
Brian Mayberry died in 1998 after a lengthy battle with cancer.
