A Juddmonte homebred, Special Duty is out of the once raced maiden Quest To Peak, a half sister to seven time Grade One winner Sightseek and Grade One winner Tates Creek. Special Duty had shown enough at home to make her debut in the Listed Prix Yacowlef on debut, where she was second.

This is the first European stakes winner of the season for the late Hennessy, 56% of whise wins come over 5-6f and who has three winners from only 11 European runners in 2009.
