Seventh Heaven Suffers Setback

Seventh Heaven | Racing Post

Seventh Heaven (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) is unlikely to run until the autumn after suffering a setback. The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly had been among the leading lights for the G1 Investec Coronation Cup at Epsom next week following her five-length stroll in the G2 Jockey Club S. at Newmarket earlier this month. However, she has been ruled out of that race, with O'Brien expecting her to be sidelined for a lengthy period. Last year's G1 King George and GI Breeders' Cup Turf hero Highland Reel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and his brother Idaho (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who was third in the 2016 G1 Derby, are instead likely to run in the Coronation Cup.

O'Brien said, “Seventh Heaven had a little bit of a setback, so she probably won't be back out until the autumn. We are thinking that the brothers might go there [Highland Reel and Idaho].”
