July 5, 2013 Churchill Downs was a spectacular run to watch, Groupie Doll hustled her way through the 4 furlong distance. Making Jockey Leandro Gonclaves and trainer Buff Bradley proud and pleased with the performance, the 5 year old daughter of Bowman’s Band might have had a late start in the season of horse racing 2013 but looks focused to rule the year ahead.
The champion sprinter has a number of varied victories on her name and that is exactly what interests me to watch her run. Some of her victories are the Vinery Madison Stakes, the Humana Distaff, the Presque Isle Downs Masters, the Thoroughbred Club of America and the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, 9 wins out of which 6 have been grade stakes. Taking a considerable amount of time off at the Bradley Family Farm near Frankfort, she came back to training on May 6. A month into training and she is back with a bang!
I am more than excited to watch her run at the Ballerina, a Breeders’ Cup Challenge for the Filly & Mare Sprint; however it seems that trainer Bradley is yet to make up his mind and decide between running the Masters and the Ballerina. The Ballerina is a 7 furlong race run over Saratoga’s dirt track whereas Masters is 6 ½.
“I'm a little more favorable to go to Presque Isle right now but I still have a lot of people wanting me to go to New York, so we'll see as we get a little closer." – Bradley; Bloodhorse.
Last year’s Ballerina was won by Class Included, Evelyn’s Dancer and Orchid’s Silver finishing second and third respectively.
Hoping to see some action soon, I wish all the luck to Groupie Doll!
