Nooresh juglall biography books pdf

Top Mauritian jockey, Nooresh Juglall, passed away late at night on Saturday 15th May, after a bad fall from horse Rule the Night which was a favourite of the main race along with contenders like Kamadeva and Golden Tractor. The picture of Nooresh on Rule the Night prior to the race did not tell anything about what was likely to happen soon afterwards.

He was not sick, had no chronic illness and was surely not bound by bad spell. The top horse was well trained and in full form to win the metre race. The bad thing happened as the kilo half a ton horse fell heavily on Nooresh after a severe bumping with Golden Tractor. Benedict Woodworth was injured while Nooresh Juglall went into a coma.

On WhatsApp, we were constantly being informed of his deteriorating condition and felt distressed as time passed and made the hours of Nooresh shorter and shorter.
