Coolmore's Classic hero Sovereign (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will not be seen in action again this year, Racing Post reported on Monday. Successful in the G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby by an imperious six lengths in June, the chestnut was also second in this term's G3 Ballysax S. and third in the G3 Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial. As a juvenile the son of Devoted To You (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) was third in the G3 Eyrefield S.
“Sovereign won't run again this year, he'll be put away until next year” said Aidan O'Brien to Racing Post. “We'll start him off early next year and go from there. He hasn't had a setback, we just want to give him time.”
