Las Monjitas to Face Crab Orchard in US Open final

April 16, 2008 - IPC web news
WELLINGTON, FL - Defending champion Crab Orchard and Las Monjitas will face each other in the season finale Stanford US Open Polo Championship Sunday after posting victories in the semifinals at International Polo Club Palm Beach today.


Both games had identical 12-11 scores as Crab Orchard fought off a stubborn Pony Express and Las Monjitas squeaked by White Birch.


“We're here to win it,” said Crab Orchard captain George Rawlings whose team was up by as many as four goals and maintained a two goal difference until the final moments of the game. “They are a tough team and Matias and David were out for us since they made up half our team last year,” Rawlings added. Crab Orchard's 2007 Championship team had Matias Magrini and David Stirling playing with them. This year the two joined Pony Express and were replaced by Nachi Heguy and Jeff Blake.


Magrini and Stirling combined for nine of the teams 11. In the final chukker Crab Orchard's Adolfo Cambiaso, who finished the day with six, put his team up 12-9 on a field length run and goal early. Magrini and Stirling each answered with a goal only to fall one short of victory. Rawlings concluded, “Now the big one.”


Las Monjitas struck early and were up 5-2 in the second chukker when Eduardo Astrada was injured reaching for a shot. Astrada was able to return and scored three times in the second half.
“We are very conscientious of the second half and especially the 4th chukker after coming from a long break. We kept our concentration today”, said Camilo Bautista of Las Monjitas. In the fourth, the orange team completely dominated White Birch by holding them scoreless and only allowing them across midfield once in the chukker. Las Monjitas scored one and missed four shots inside the 20 yard line. Lucas Monteverde of White Birch finished the day with seven goals all on penalty shots. Nacho Astrada had eight for Las Monjitas.


Bautista added, “It's fantastic, this is going to be our third final this year.” Las Monjitas was runner-up in the CV Whitney, won the USPA Piaget Gold Cup and is now in the finals of the Stanford US Open Polo Championship.


The final between Las Monjitas and Crab Orchard, both North American Polo League Teams, will be played at 3:00 PM Sunday, April 20 on the Stanford Field at International Polo Club Palm Beach.

The AB World Championship Invitational is an unusual event where the overall winner may not be the one that won on the field. A 3 part event that started with all 4 players tacking up a very patient polo pony...Lost Equine were the first to finish and this gave them a one goal lead going into the round robin series of chukkers.

On the field Mean Green won the first chukker to advance to the finals. Great play by all positions on the field but the nod must go to Jesse Kahle for always being in position and smart plays when on the ball.

The second team into the final were Lost Equine who came out strong and immediately started putting goals on the board. Nick Romer at back was very strong while Amelia made sure that no player went unmarked and her great eye for the ball was a huge help in getting Lost Equine to the final.

pic above is from a previous game at Vero Polo..Amelia

Having two players named Kahle and one named Green must have been the lucky charm for the Mean Green team as they won the match on the field and the final deciding event a "Know Down".

Note able play of the day goes to Jesse Kahle, Devon Kahle and Rosie Mulholland of team Mean Green..Jesse, in defense, scooped the ball out of the goalmouth and with great backup from Devon they carried the ball to the opposite goal...A shot was stopped right in front of the post until Rosie rode in to tap it through for a great team score.

After the last chukker all teams were tested on their knowledge of the game being asked questions re umpires decisions on various plays...Mean Green answered all questions correctly and are the 2008 AB World Championship Invitational Champions..most likely the longest event title in polo..hope it's a big trophy!!

Well done to everyone and especially Kris for training these players so thoroughly that they can excel on and off the field. Pictures to follow from Sandy Kahle.

Yet another wonderful game today..Michelob Ultra winning over Vero Beach 12-7 in the USPA Governor's Cup final.

The Busch Wlidlife Sanctuary brought out some of the animals under their care and we were treated to a great demonstration of Native American dances by the Hitchit Dance Troop.

USPA Governor's Cup Vero Beach Polo

First of all a quick Happy Birthday to Dad and Dad in law Brian Redman..71 years young and still as quick in a car as anyone....


So.. a great game today between Vero Beach and the great father and son team of George & Dolf Kahle.. and our friend of 27+ years Peter Bibeau and the Buckleigh farms team.

George and Dolf had Gaston & the great #4 player Craig Fraser on board as usual while Peter brought a new player to Vero Beach Polo, Maurico Devrient from Argentia to play along with an old favourite in Vero, Louis Galvan. A surprise today saw Kris Bowman playing at #1 for Buckleigh Farms...Perhaps she really does know what she is talking about when she gives all those lessons!

Buckleigh were very strong in the first half but some great play from Vero Beach in the 2nd half brought them the win..

George Kahle was named MVP due to some very stong plays and setting up a goal after falling of his rearing horse at a throw in..Craig was surprised when one of Georges shots..from at least 80 yards out... went whistling past him and right between the goal posts.

Next weekend should be thrilling.. Vero vs Michelob for the USPA Governor's Cup..Also it is a fundraiser for the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary..a very worthy cause to come out and support....

It was great to see everyone at POLO..
See you next weekend

Thanks James & Dawn

Shamrock came out strong in the first half playing well and leading going into the 2nd half by a couple of goals.

Seems like there must have been a good pep talk by Craig at half time as Vero Beach came charging out to catch up to Shamrock..great play by Dolf Kahle with several goals in a row to bring the game to a tie...

In the end Vero Beach won by just one goal..

MVP for the game was awarded to Dolf Kahle who really played above himself for Vero Beach.
A great day and we look forward to seeing you again at Vero Beach Polo..

USPA "Blue Book" 1974

I have just come across my collection of the USPA annual "Blue Book" and will be posting snapshots from the past along with any interesting tidbits I come across..Today I am starting with a great story from the 1974 Coronation Cup at Smiths Lawn in Windsor Park, England.

The USA beat England for the
third year in a row with a
score of 7-6 in what must
have been a thrilling match.....

The US team..Bill Ylvisaker-with bandaged head!, Tommy Wayman, you can see that Toby looks a lot like him, Dr. William Lightfoot & Harold Barry, being presented the trophy by Queen Elizabeth.

The American team were a bit worse for the wear going into the game. Tommy Wayman had a severe bone bruise and was thought for a while to have a broken leg! Dr Linfoot was hit in the cheek leaving him with stitches and a cracked bone. Bill Ylvisaker was hit in the head and had several stitches along with a broken nose!

The team played well together, trailing in the sixth chukka but going onto win 7-6.

playing for England were the great polo brothers Julian and Howard Hipwood..as an aside Julian and Howard are great family friends and longtime borders at our barn in Gulfstream Polo Club.

England were well ahead in the fifth chukka, Julian scoring twice. Then came the disappointment. In the final chukka the US team put on the pressure. With only four minutes to go Ylvisaker scored, followed quickly by Wayman. Six all with two minutes to go. Linfoot scored the deciding goal with only twenty seconds left on the clock!!!

More from the Blue Book soon, please check back ..

See you at polo.

Palmer Jaguar JP1

Believe the hype. Built without compromise the Palmer Jaguar JP1 is a born winner. This two seater mid-engined sports prototype was described on Top Gear as "The king of all track cars."

And nothing has yet come even close to stealing its crown. A mighty V6 Jaguar Cosworth engine is race tuned to produce an awesome performance to match the car's phenomenal grip and braking capability.

TOP SPEED180mph

TRANSMISSION 6sp Sequential

"The Palmer Jaguar JP1 offers thrills that are genuinely identical to a pure-bred racing car experience," said EVO co-editor, Richard Meaden. "That said, it is rather more forgiving than you might expect. This is a good thing. It allows people to jump in and really feel they’ve explored its abilities, more than in other track day cars I’ve tested. AT EVO we take each car we feature to the Bedford Autodrome as part of our assessment process, and a lap time of 1m 9.8s makes the JP1 the fastest car I have driven around our test circuit. To put this figure in perspective, the lap time for a Ferrari 575M (with 508bhp) is 1m 24.5s."

Sotheby's International Realty is Exclusive Listing Agent for Donald Trump's $125 Million Palm Beach Mansion; Two of the World's Elite Brands Create New Standards in Oceanfront Living



PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A spectacular 80,000 square foot mansion, owned by Donald J. Trump and featuring 475 feet of direct ocean frontage, is the exclusive listing of Sotheby's International Realty, Inc., executives of the luxury real estate brokerage firm announced today.



Sotheby's International Realty said that the mansion, situated on six and a half acres of oceanfront property, lists for $125 million and features a main house, as well as a separate pool pavilion, guest house and carriage house. Mr. Trump purchased the 11 bedroom/12 bathroom residence at auction in 2004, and recently completed a $25 million renovation.

"Everything that is Palm Beach is captured in Mr. Trump's masterful

renovation of this elegant estate. It is absolutely perfect for the owner who

loves to entertain lavishly or intimately, as they may wish, and also serves

beautifully as a family compound," said Cristina Condon, listing agent.

"With a property of this breadth and scope the possibilities are endless."

With an acute attention to detail, highlighted by bathrooms with an acute attention to detail, highlighted by bathrooms with 24-karat gold fixtures, Trump completed renovations on the property earlier this year, which included remodeling of a 4,100 square foot oceanfront conservatory with Chicago Old Brick flooring framed by an oak inlay. The home also features blonde and brown onyx and noir and vert granite floors throughout. The renovations for the residence, originally built in 1990, were completed by noted Palm Beach architect Gene Lawrence.



Other features of the European-Regency style house include 20 foot ceilings, a ballroom, media room, formal art gallery, 100' x 40' pool, and parking for 40 cars, an essential for hosting opulent parties. Multiple skylights inundate the home with natural light, and an enormous full basement matches the footprint of the home offering endless possibilities for housing unique collections.

"This is perhaps the finest property of its kind anywhere in the world and most importantly, it is in Palm Beach, the finest community," Mr. Trump said.

Ultra private 7-acre residence on almost 500’ direct ocean frontage. Beautifully restored 62,000± sq. ft. Regency-style mansion with sweeping ocean views and vast emerald lawns. Heralded by a majestic motor court with a fountain, impressive entertaining spaces are dramatized by soaring ceilings and massive sun-drenched skylights, also featuring a grand ballroom, formal art gallery, ocean-side loggia and stunning 100' long pool. Climate-controlled full basement for a connoisseur’s collections. Unmatched scope and endless possibilities in an extraordinary compound offering a magnificent Master Suite, 6 Guest Suites, staff Quarters, complimented by 3 additional structures including 2 bedroom Poolside Retreat, 2 bedroom Guest House and 4 bedroom vintage Coach House.

Vero Beach Polo update-January 23rd 2008

Hi Everyone,
What a disappointment to have the first Sunday match a rainout. But as the day went on, I was kind of glad we weren't standing out there in that wind!
Looks like a better day coming up this Sunday. Just a reminder that this Sunday (the 27th) is the POOCH PARADE. Since we didn't get the program out on Sunday not many people know about this so your chances of winning increases! pic from 2007
Maitland Farm is the sponsor so we hope to be introducing some new families to the enjoyment of the sport on Sunday.
We will be providing refreshments in the MEMBER PAVILION during and after the match. Please know that you are ALWAYS welcome to bring an appetizer to share and your participation is much appreciated.
Lots of games coming up this week. See you at the field.
Sandy

ISLA CARROLL AND CATAMOUNT ADVANCE-- POLO SEMI FINALS JOE BARRY

January 20, 2008 By Tim O'Connor IPC

WELLINGTON, FL – Silvestre Donovan's five goals from the field backed up by Shane Rice's five, clinched Isla Carroll a spot in the semifinals of the NAPL Joe Barry Memorial Cup today at International Polo Club Palm Beach by defeating Patagones 13-11.

“It was a rocky start,” said Isla Carroll's Shane Rice, who scored four penalty goals during the first half. “But then Sugar really got us going.”

Teammate Sugar Erskine was named the game's most valuable player as he scored three consecutive goals during the first two chukkers.

“We tried to stick with our game plan today and it worked for us,” said Erskine, who added the team had broken its strategy in its earlier games this tournament.

Patagones fell behind by five goals at the half and mounted a strong come back in the final chukkers.

“We ended the game with a strategy we liked,” said Carlucho Arellano. “It's a shame we found it at the end. Good thing is we found it.”

In the day's earlier NAPL action, fueled by Brandon Phillips seven goals, Catamount defeated Bud Light ERG 12-7.

“On the one hand we're winning," said Phillips, who added his team is only playing at 80 percent. “We need to play more consistently if we're going to make it to the finals.”

Phillips scored two from the field during the second chukker and an additional goal during the fourth the other four goals were earned by penalty shots.

Catamount will face Pony Express on Wednesday, January 23 at noon and Isla Carroll will take on Skeeterville at 3 p.m. that same day. The finals of the Joe Barry Memorial are set for Sunday, January 27 at 3 p.m.

The Barry Memorial is dedicated to Joe Barry who dominated polo in the 1960's and 70 ' s winning six U.S. Open Championships, three Gold Cups, three Silver Cups as well as the Coronation Cup and Camacho Cup. Barry was inducted into the Polo Hall of Fame in 1999.
International Polo Club Palm Beach is located at 3667 120 th Avenue South in Wellington and hosts professional polo tournaments until April 20. The premier game of the week is played at 3:00 p.m. every Sunday in the Stanford polo stadium.
