The Citation Handicap was an American Thoroughbred horse race which was held annually at Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, California.This event was raced in late November, and was open to horses age three-years-old and up. Contested on turf over a distance of 1 116 miles, the event offered a purse of $250,000. It was downgraded from a Grade I race to Grade II for 2010.
