Juglall has passed away as a result of injuries sustained in a fall at Champ De
Mars Racecourse in Mauritius on Saturday.

in which his mount Rule The Night and Golden Tractor, ridden by Benny

the City Clinic. Juglall was unconscious and bleeding profusely while Woodworth
damaged his wrist and elbow and was in excruciating pain, but he was conscious.
At 7pm Mauritius
time, Juglall was still unconscious and was placed on life support.
His brother, Tajesh,
later confirmed Nooresh had passed away from his injuries. He was 29 years old.
He leaves behind a widow and two children.
