Judy the Beauty (foaled 17 March 2009) is a Canadian-bred, American-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. Bred by Adena Springs in Ontario, she has been owned and trained throughout her racing career by Wesley Ward who bought her for $20,000 as a yearling. As a juvenile, she won her first three races (including one on turf in France) before finishing second in the Spinaway Stakes. In a brief three-year-old season she finished second in all three of her races. In 2013 she established herself as one of the best female sprinters in North America, winning the Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes and finishing second to Groupie Doll in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. She was even better at five, winning the Las Flores Handicap, Madison Stakes and Rancho Bernardo Handicap before ending her season with a win in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint.


Judy the Beauty is a chestnut mare with a white blaze bred in Ontario by Adena Springs. She is one of the best horses sired by Ghostzapper who was the American Horse of the Year and the World's Top Ranked Horse in 2004. Her dam Holy Blitz won three of her seven races and was a descendant of the influential broodmare La Troienne.

As a yearling, Judy the Beauty was sent to the Keeneland sales in September 2010, where she was bought for $20,000 by Wesley Ward. The Keeneland-based Ward has trained the mare throughout her racing career.
