This race did a great job showing how some of the top European horses don't always take to the American turf as well as they do the turf courses in Europe. Special Duty was one of the top 2yr.old fillies in Europe in 2009, and probably was the top 3yr.old filly in 2010. She came into this race having won the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes and the G2 Prix Robert Papin as a 2yr.old. Then she won both the G1 English 1000 Guineas and the G1 French 1000 Guineas as a 3yr.old. But finishes stone last here.
I havn't been watching the turf over the last few day, but based on this race, the citation handicap looks like a race for some closers as well, hopefully Court Vision.
