Groupie Doll (foaled 14 April 2008) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. A specialist sprinter, she is best known for winning the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint in 2012 and 2013. Unraced as a two-year-old she showed good form as a three-year-old in 2011, winning three races including the Gardenia Stakes. In 2012, she emerged as a world-class sprinter, winning the Madison Stakes, Humana Distaff Handicap, Presque Isle Downs Masters Stakes, and Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes before taking the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. In 2013 she repeated in the Masters Stakes and won a second Breeders' Cup. She was then sold as a prospective broodmare for $3.1 million. Her new owner chose to keep her in training into early 2014, running her against males in the Cigar Mile, and then in the Hurricane Bertie Stakes, where she won the final race of her career, to be retired and become a broodmare.
Groupie Doll is a chestnut mare with a small white star bred in Kentucky by the Frankfort-based father and son team of Fred and William "Buff" Bradley. She is by far the most successful racehorse sired by Bowman's Band, a Kentucky-bred stallion whose biggest win on the track came in the 2003 Meadowlands Breeders' Cup Stakes. Groupie Doll's dam Deputy Doll won two minor races, and was a great-great-great-granddaughter of the influential broodmare Boudoir, whose other descendants include Graustark, His Majesty, Secreto, Majestic Prince, Real Quiet and Daiwa Major.
During her racing career, the mare was owned by the Bradleys in partnership with Brent Burns and Carl Hurst and trained by Buff Bradley. Groupie Doll usually raced in a white hood.
