Last year’s St Leger and Irish Derby third Tycoon had to be destroyed after breaking down badly as the UAE racing season drew to a close at Abu Dhabi on Sunday.

Burgundian will be aimed at the UAE 2000 Guineas and Derby after breaking his duck at the third attempt in a seven-furlong maiden race at Nad Al Sheba in Dubai tonight.

Tycoon, third in the Irish Derby behind Grey Swallow, could make his Dubai debut next month after being bought by Sheikh Rashid in a private deal.
