SAF Star Noah From Goa Breaks Down in Singapore Gold Cup

Grade 1 South African star Noah From Goa was sadly euthanased after breaking down in the home stretch of the Singapore Gold Cup this afternoon. Looking a winner after pulling into the straight full of running, the Ricardo Le Grange's charge went badly and visually wrong in the straight. 

Singapore Turf Club describes the incident.. 

As the swoopers descending inside the final 300m, the race was marred by a nasty race fall where Noah From Goa, who was improving noticeably on the outside of Mr Clint (Jay Ford), broke down and hurled jockey Nooresh Juglall to the ground.

 

Juglall was quickly attended to by medical staff, and was fortunately allowed to go home later. The Mauritian jockey said he felt some swelling in the left ankle, but was otherwise fine, and would have the area of concern X-rayed on Monday.

 

“It all happened so quickly. The horse was full of running, but he broke down,” said Juglall.

 

“I was closing in very quickly on Benny’s horse. Noah From Goa would have won if not for that terrible injury – it’s just very bad luck.”

 

Unfortunately, Noah From Goa was found to have suffered an open condylar fracture and was subsequently euthanased.
