US Open Semi Final: Crab Orchard vs Valiente

A great game by Crab Orchard and two spectacular goals by Julio Arellano has Mr. George Rawlings (Dawns longtime neighbor in Gulfstream) heading into another US Open final on Sunday.

Audi were leading 5 to 0 when we had to leave the other semi at half time.

Thanks very much to Alex Webbe and www.poloblogs.com for the following great report on the 2 games today................................

Crab Orchard rode onto the field in the day’s first semifinal of the 2010 US Open Championship as the favorite, but it was Valiente who took a 4-3 halftime lead in polo action at the International Polo Club in Wellington Thursday afternoon.

Crab Orchard, led by “the great one”, Argentine 10-goaler Adolfo Cambiaso was looking to wrap this game up early, but Valiente wasn’t having any of it.

Julio Arellano converted a penalty shot for the only goal of the opening chukker as both teams practiced shutout defense. Cambiaso made it 2-0 on his second chukker goal before Valiente answered with a goal from the field from Magoo Laprida and a penalty goal from Nacho Astrada, tying the score at 2-2.

Nacho Astrada added a goal from the field and another from the penalty line while Crab Orchard was held to a single penalty conversion from Cambiaso, giving Valiente a narrow 4-3 halftime advantage.

The Valiente lead was short-lived as Cambiaso took control of the opening play of the fourth chukker to score his third goal of the game. Arellano added a pair of goals while the entire Crab Orchard played heads up defense, shutting out Valiente, moving ahead 6-4.

Nacho Astrada got Valiente back into it in the fifth with a penalty conversion, cutting the Crab Orchard lead to a single goal when Cambiaso displayed the brilliance that has him revered as the top player in the game today. Cambiaso took a pass from teammate Hilario Ulloa over 250 yards down the field to put Crab Orchard up, 7-5.

A missed penalty shot from Nacho Astrada took the winds out of the Valiente sails late in the chukker, with Ulloa scoring his first goal of the game to move Crab Orchard in front by three goals, 8-5, as the period ended.

Valiente rallied in the early minutes of the sixth, getting a goal from the field from Miguel Astrada and another penalty goal from brother Nacho Astrada that cut the Crab Orchard lead to a single goal, but that would be as close as they would come.

Arellano converted a penalty goal and added another goal from the field to close out the scoring and give Crab Orchard the 10-7 win and a berth in Sunday’s US Open finals.

AUDI 7, LECHUZA CARACAS 6

In a match that began as a blowout by Audi, Victor Vargas’ Lechuza Caracas team stormed back in the final chukker to make it a closer game than most expected, falling to the 2009 defending US Open Champion by the score of 7-6.

First chukker goals by Gonzalito Pieres, Marc Ganzi and Facundo Pieres had Audi up 3-0 at the end of the first chukker as the Audi defense performed admirably against a veteran Lechuza lineup.

Facundo Pieres managed a single penalty goal in the second chukker and team captain Ganzi scored the only goal of the third chukker to give Audi a commanding 5-0 halftime lead as Lechuza struggled to find any offense at all.

Audi rode off the field with a five goal advantage, and looked to make little work of the Lechuza team in the final three chukkers of play.

Lechuza finally found its punch in the fourth chukker, combining three penalty goals from Sapo Caset with an admirable defense that kept Audi off the boards for the first time all day. Audi continued to lead, but the margin was cut to a pair of goals, 5-3.

Audi tightened up the screws on defense again in the fifth period, pitching shutout ball while getting another penalty goal from Facundo Pieres to take a 6-3 lead into the final chukker of play.

Facundo Pieres scored his fourth penalty goal of the game to open the action in the final chukker before Lechuza mad a mad rally to get back into the game.

Ten-goaler Juan Martin Nero scored his first goal of the game in the final chukker followed by a pair of goals from team captain Victor Vargas, but the writing was already on the wall.

The matchup that everyone was looking forward to, Crab Orchard vs. Audi, was set. Audi took the 7-6 game and will move ahead to meet Crab orchard in Sunday’s finals of the 2010 US Open Championship at the International Polo Club.

See you at Polo!!!!

Happy Friday Everyone,

It was a beautiful day at The Polo Grounds yesterday when Michelob and
Rocking K Ranch met as part of the Treasure Coast League. They were tied
7-7 at the end of regulation. And then ensued three (yes, that is 3!)
overtime periods of penalty shots. Michelob was ultimately victorious 13 to
12. Congratulations, Michelob!

On Sunday, Rocking K will wear their new shirts once again when they face
Shamrock at 2.

this year--south of 12th Street between 74th and 82nd Aves.

POLO PARTY:
The season kick-off party will be at our house (George & Sandy Kahle, 6020
5th St SW) at 7:30 on Friday, January 22nd. We decided it would be safer to
save the Asado for a warmer month. And after this week, looks like we were
right! You will be receiving the official invitation in the mail, but be
sure to SAVE THE DATE. RSVP too. We look forward to having the Friends of
Polo tailgate members join us for this fun occasion!

COMMUNICATION:
We welcome Craig Fraser as the polo manager this season. Craig is in charge
of the 567-4003 phone line, which is used for game and chukker information
between Craig and the players and grooms and all matters "inside the
boards."

If you have any questions or information regarding things "outside the
boards" (tailgates, parties, etc.) please call the main office at 778-2224
or email me or call my cell, 563-8912.

IN CASE OF RAIN OR WET FIELDS:
Remember, if tailgaters have any doubt about whether the Sunday match is on,
we will put a cancellation message on the 778-2224 number by 10 a.m. on
Sunday mornings. Even if it is a perfectly sunny day, the field may be too
wet from prior rains to play safely, so be sure to check if you are in
doubt.

SHIRTS & HATS:
We will have new hats for sale this year. They should arrive in a week or
two, so check out the stock.

We also have some SUPER SALE shirts left at only $10 each. Mostly women's
and a variety of styles. We are discontinuing shirt sales so THIS IS
IT...get them while they last! I will bring them to the westside of the
field for the first match and then make them available to the general public
on following Sundays. It may be chilly, but those short sleeve and
sleeveless shirts are SUCH A DEAL for summer!

IPC & Piaget 3 year sponsorship deal

IPC and Piaget Ink a 3-year sponsorship, Piaget acquiring the rights to the Piaget Championship Field (2010-2012)

International Polo Club Palm Beach has secured a three-year sponsorship agreement with the luxury Swiss watch maker, Piaget. After three seasons as title sponsor of the Gold Cup, Piaget has increased its interest, and acquired naming rights for Field #1 to become the Piaget Championship Field in 2010 through 2012, Club Sponsor, and Official Watch of the International Polo Club Palm Beach and the Palm Beach Polo Season.

“Piaget brings to IPC, and our upcoming 2010 season, the style, panache and world-renowned cachet, commensurate with their brand and international polo,” said John Goodman, Founder of IPC. “This is an extraordinary partnership, and we are honored to have Piaget involved with our organization.”

“When IPC presents sponsorship opportunities to international brands, we speak only to those organizations that already are well-known names among our shared audience,” added John Wash, IPC President. “Their reputation for excellence makes them a fitting and exciting sponsor for IPC.”

Piaget’s name will be associated with IPC’s #1 Championship Field, which hosts the most competitive polo tournaments in the country, including the USPA Piaget Gold Cup to take place March 7-21.

“Having our name adorn the sport’s American field of play makes this the perfect partnership,” said Larry Boland, President of Piaget.

Piaget has stood as an icon of excellence and creativity since its founding in 1874, elevating the manufacture of fine jewelry and timepieces to an absolute art. The firm is known for its legendary Piaget Polo timepieces, as well as for its ultra-thin movements, artistic dials and complications including chronographs, tourbillons and perpetual calendars. Piaget is one of the only remaining watchmakers that designs and crafts its own cases, bracelets and movements. For more information, please visit www.piaget.com.

The prestigious USPA Piaget Gold Cup was first played in 1974. It is a symbol of professionalism, good sportsmanship and high goal polo at its finest. Introduced at Oakbrook Polo Club in Illinois, it then headed north to Milwaukee Polo Club in 1975 and remained there until 1978. After moving south in 1979, the USPA Gold Cup continued a 17-year stretch at Palm Beach Polo and Country Club, only to move down the road to Boca Raton at Royal Palm Polo & Sports Club in 1996. In 2002, the Gold Cup headed back up north to Greenwich Polo Club where play resumed until 2004. Aiken, South Carolina then hosted the Gold Cup in 2005 and 2006. Now International Polo Club Palm Beach is pleased to host this prestigious polo championship tournament.

Below is an article sent Monday night, April 21st by Sam Morton to the Morning Line. It is reproduced verbatim.


Our Black SundayBy Sam Morton
“Nothing really prepares you for what happened Sunday; the horror of over twenty horses dropping at our biggest polo tournament of the year. Young athletes cut down in their prime. It is our Black Sunday or 9/11 in polo. There are lots of rumors running around which doesn’t really change the end result. Lots of horsemen who happened to be there scrambled over to help but there was nothing they could do. One witness told me it looked like there were twenty people around each horse trying to do something, anything.

“People who work behind the scenes in polo learn to work fast. We pride ourselves on it. Horses are tacked up, stripped, and washed in minutes. At the U.S. Open Sunday, and at any Florida function all winter, there are people from all over the world in the polo community. For over an hour, South Africans, Argentines, French, Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Brazilians, Costa Ricans, Cubans, and several other countries, worked shoulder to shoulder with the best horse vets in the world to save lives.

They were scrambling as one, at a moment’s notice. I can tell you no one could have worked faster in any sport, equestrian or human, and for that I am extremely proud to be part of it. The polo team, Isla Carol mounted a substitute team in little over an hour. I’m not sure people realize what went into that.

“Grooms, sponsors, vets, players, photographers and spectators are all bonded by a passion for horses. It’s who we are as a community. The last time we were brought together was the herpes virus scare a few years back. I sat in a room and looked at pros, blacksmiths, grooms, vets, owners and fans of polo that pulled together for the love of our horses and I think it was probably the first time I truly thought about being part of a community. I was proud then and I am proud now.

“In Plains Indian society, less than two hundred years ago, it was believed that when a man dies, his horse would accompany him in the next life. That’s how much horses were deeply involved in their life, and in a way they are that much a part of our lives in polo. I can tell you every polo player, groom, owner, trainer and fan of the game fells the pain right now. We are deeply hurt and saddened as a people over the loss of our horses.

To Lechuza we send our condolences.

“God bless the souls of our horses that run with the angels now.
"Gotta go."

“My horse fights with me and fasts with me because if he is to carry me into battle, he must know my heart and I must know his or we shall never become brothers. I have been told that the white man who is almost a god, and yet a great fool, does not believe the horse has a soul. This cannot be true. I have many times seen my horse’s soul in his eyes. -Plenty Coups Chief of the Crow”
Sam Morton

Sad news....

The world of polo is anxiously awaiting the results of laboratory tests to help reveal how 21 horses from a Venezuelan team died suddenly in a mystery outbreak that has left the sport in shock.

The horses from the Lechuza Caracas team were due to appear in yesterday's semi-final of the US Open in Florida, the most high-profile event in the American polo calendar and a highlight of the international circuit.

At about 2.15pm, two horses fell in their trailers as they were being unloaded before the match. Others showed signs of dizziness, breathing heavily, before finally collapsing.

Our hearts go out to the whole Lechuza Caracas family....
Vero Polo. Dawn & James.............

As they fell, grooms and vets rushed to treat the animals, spraying them with water to cool them and administering intravenous fluids.
But their efforts were in vain: all horses that showed signs of illness died.

Fourteen horses died on Sunday, and a further seven passed away overnight, wiping out almost the entire team that had been brought to the tournament.

The carcasses of the 21 dead horses were transported to laboratories around Florida for testing, and the results are expected to take several days.

Terence McElroy, a spokesman for the Florida department of agriculture which is leading the investigation into the deaths, would not be drawn on possible causes. "We pretty much have an open mind - we simply want to get to the bottom of it," he said.

Speculation focused on the possibility of toxic shock, which would explain the symptoms displayed by the horses of dizziness, water in the lungs and cardiac arrest.

If so, that would lead investigators to ask what caused the reaction. It could be explained by contaminated food or water, which would raise the issue of whether the toxin was mistakenly or consciously given to the animals.

Vet James Belden, who was at the scene, told NBC: "Clearly it's an intoxication ... there's some sort of a poison."

Further attention will fall on whether the animals were given any performance enhancing fluids before the match. It is not uncommon at this highest level of the sport for horses to be given cocktails of fluids, similar to steroids, though steroids themselves are banned in some circuits, including at British competitions.

John Wash, president of the International Polo Club Palm, where the tournament was being held, said: "Our hearts go out to team Lechuza Caracas and hope that a speedy answer can be obtained."

Dawn Redman, a commentator on the sport who lives in Florida, added: "The polo world is shocked. These were beautiful and absolutely magnificent ponies, trained to a very high standard."

The deaths are a particularly hard blow for Victor Vargas, the multimillionaire Venezuelan businessman who owns and plays for Lechuza Caracas. Not only has he lost some of his best horses, the future of the team could be greatly affected as the dead animals included several mares that would have carried the side's next generation.

All the animals were aged 10 or 11, rendering them at their prime. Several were thoroughbred Argentinian horses, considered the best for polo, and worth more than $100,000 (£67,0000) each.

Bal Harbor-Thorpe Sotherby's

Bal Harbour

VERO BEACH — Thorpe Sotheby's International Realty is handling the marketing and potential sale of what could be one of the most expensive and exclusive vacant parcels on the Eastern Seaboard.Michael Thorpe, principal of Thorpe Sotheby's International Realty, is the listing agent for a 5.5-acre oceanfront parcel in Bal Harbour.

The asking price for the parcel is $225 million, the highest priced property Thorpe has ever marketed.

¶The property has approximately 675,000 square feet of oceanfront frontage along Collins Avenue just north of Miami Beach.
It's just steps away from the ritzy and exclusive outdoor shopping mall Bal Harbour Shops — a family-owned mall that houses some of the nation's most exclusive merchants.

According to published reports, Donald Trump sold his luxury waterfront estate in West Palm Beach for $95 million in July.

Forbes magazine's most expensive home in 2008 was listed for $165 million in Beverly Hills by the Westside Estate Agency. The 6.5-acre mansion was built in 1926 and was the former home of newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst.
