Special Duty handed classic double
Special Duty again benefited from the intervention of the stewards as she was awarded a second Classic in the space of 14 days with Longchamp officials promoting her to first place in the Poule D'Essai Des Pouliches.
Just a fortnight after being handed the 1000 Guineas by the Newmarket stewards after first-past-the-post Jacqueline Quest carried her right through the closing stages, Criquette Head-Maarek's filly landed the French equivalent in similar circumstances.
