Burgundian stars in Al Kurdi treble

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.

With all jockeys donating at least one of their riding fees to the Asian disaster fund, champion Ted Durcan partnered Mazin Al Kurdi’s Epsom Derby entrant to a comfortable victory from stable companion Clasp.
