Seventh Heaven is a bay filly with no white markings bred in Ireland by La Traviata Syndicate, a breeding organisation associated with the Coolmore Stud.

His other progeny include Found, Cape Blanco, Frankel, Golden Lilac, Nathaniel, New Approach, Rip Van Winkle, Ruler of the World, and Minding.

[2] Seventh Heaven's dam La Traviata was bought as a two-year-old at the Fasig-Tipton Calder sale in February 2006 for $1.1 million by the bloodstock agent Dermot "Demi" O'Byrne on behalf of Coolmore.

On her three-year-old debut Seventh Heaven contested a one-mile maiden on the Polytrack surface at Dundalk Racecourse on 18 April in which she was ridden by Seamie Heffernan.

Ridden by Ryan Moore she started 15/8 favourite in a five runners field which included the highly regarded British-trained fillies Mountain Bell (a ten length winner of a maiden at Windsor) and Architecture.

Seventh Heaven tracked the leader Mountain Bell before taking the lead in the last quarter mile and getting the better of what was described by the Racing Post as a "sustained duel"[9] with Architecture to win by a neck.

Seventh Heaven raced at the rear of the field as Pretty Perfect made the running but began to make progress as the runners approached the final turn.

Even Song, Harlequeen, Turret Rocks and Pretty Perfect were again in opposition, whilst the other runners included Queen's Trust (runner-up to Minding in the Nassau Stakes), Endless Time (Lancashire Oaks) and the multiple South American Grade I winner Furia Cruzada.

"[14] On 15 October Seventh Heaven, ridden by Moore, started 5/4 favourite for the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes over one and a half miles at Ascot Racecourse.

She took the lead approaching the final furlong and drew right away from her rivals to win by five lengths from the French horse One Foot in Heaven (winner of the Prix du Conseil de Paris).
