Dead: Jockey Kishan Pereira during one of his successful horse racing events
Kaieteur Sports – Slingerz Racing Stable joins the entire horse racing fraternity in mourning the tragic passing of jockey Kishan Pereira, who lost his life on Sunday at the Rising Sun Turf Club during the staging of the prestigious Guyana Cup.
Pereira was competing in the H-Class Open, astride Blinding Lights, owned by Leonard Jetto, when the heartbreaking incident occurred in the penultimate race of the day.
Horse racing, by its very nature, is a sport of great risks, yet Kishan embraced it with unmatched passion, bravery, and commitment.
More than just a talented jockey, he was admired and respected across stables and communities for his skill, professionalism, and the infectious energy he brought to every race.
His love for the sport was undeniable, and his presence elevated horse racing in Guyana.
Slingerz Racing Stable held Kishan in the highest regard, both as a competitor and as an individual.
He embodied the very spirit of perseverance and courage that defines this sport, and his loss will be felt deeply by all who knew him and shared the track with him.
To his family, we extend our heartfelt prayers, support, and strength during this painful time. Please know that Kishan Pereira’s name will forever be remembered within the annals of Guyana’s racing history, and his contribution to the sport will live on as an enduring legacy.
On behalf of the owners, trainers, jockeys, and the wider Slingerz Racing Stable family, we express our deepest condolences to his loved ones, friends, and colleagues.
May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his memory continue to inspire those who ride with the same courage and dedication that defined his life.
