High Havens meets with injury

Paul D`Arcy`s smart juvenile Lady High Havens has met with a setback and may not run again this season, it emerged today.

The filly finished out the frame for the first time in seven starts when a disappointing ninth of 10 behind Half Glance in the Rothmans Royals May Hill Stakes at Doncaster on Thursday.

However, the Newmarket trainer explained the Cherry Hinton Stakes runner-up`s below-par effort.

He said: 'The vet has been in and he found an abscess under her the shoe. She`s very, very sore. There was a lot of heat in the foot this morning.

'She didn`t run anywhere near her form yesterday and there had to be a reason why.

'She`ll be treated but I wouldn`t think she`ll run again this year.

'She`ll get the foot poulticed and when we get that cleared up we`d be at the end of the season.

'She is in the Marcel Boussac (at Longchamp on October 7th) and that`s always been the plan but I don`t think we would have time to get her back.

'She does have an entry at Hollywood Park - a Grade Three mile race - in November. You never know if she`s OK there`s a possibility she could go there. We`ll just have to wait and see.'
