6 November 2018, Abu Dhabi, UAE ~ The Abut Dhabi Equestrian Club welcomes a six race card on 9 November 2018 highlighting the feature, the Gr 1, Dirhams 5,000,000 ($1.2 million) Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Jewel Crown to be run over 1600 metres on turf.
RB Burn, running in the colors of HH Sheikh Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and trained by Eric Lemartinel, will be looking to claim the prize for the second time which escaped him in 2017 by a decision.
