I’ve been in Polo since 1975 as a player and manager, and I’ve seen very little progress in the last 2 decades to improve the game in the USA. We have become the financial center for Argentina, and I am not blaming them as team builders– I brought many Argentine players here, myself, but for something called the United States Polo Association, there are very few high goal players from the United States. We haven’t had a U.S. 10 goal player since 2000, and we’ve only had 1 Patron go over 4 goals since then–Jared Zemi and he also is a pro when he wants to be . WHY? Because we are quickly running out of Patrons who want to pay to watch. Some of the existing Patrons are my age and can afford it so its fun for them, but look at the US OPEN. How many Patrons were under 55 and American? We have lost all the young possible Patrons because they want to improve and be a part of the game, not have an expensive seat to enjoy. It was actually a very bright Argentine Pro, Javier Tanoria, who gave me the idea and answer to solving this problem. It’s simple and will cut cost 40%, which is another reason we get less interest in the top line every year. Javier’s solution: Limit horses per player, per game. He says 6 horses, I would say 7. Not 16. Firstly, it will cost will cut cost substantially, opening the door for so many more. Hay, stalls, grooms, trucks, shavings–every cost will be cut, and make it a game for the masses not just the few.

But more importantly, the limitations will bring the sport back to Polo. It’s in limitations that we expand. It’s a universal truth, no matter the field. When we are challenged by limitations, we are forced to learn and grow. By limiting the horses at a players disposal, we will force the pros to rely on their skill not, just their horse. It will force them to utilize the Patrons, and in doing so, both will grow as players. It’s time to bring back the “Patron” to those like the Busches, Beveridges, Orthweins, Walkers, Uihliens and many more who went to 4-7 goals. Make the Patrons Players again.

While you’re all in the Desert, look at what is and start seeing what could be, with just a little bit of help.

I recently took a trip to see just what was going on down in SD, and WOW this place is amazing and going nowhere but up. It could very well soon be the spot to head to, come every summertime. The club has an amazing backdrop, much like Rancho Santa Fe did back before soccer pushed them out, but better–less traffic, cleaner and incredible polo fields. And on top of it, Bonsall is owned by a polo player run by a polo player. And it’s only growing.

Really, if you think about, what more could a place offer if you want to play polo and either your family does or doesn’t, since beyond polo this area has the beach, surf, hiking, wild animal park, zoo, sailing, horse racings, baseball, and most of all: the best weather in the USA.

Look it up! Because if you’re in, you will be ahead of the game (way ahead), and it will be team polo. Not often seen these days .

C U there

The semis of the Pacfic coast was a cool high humidity day but nobody told the teams and it was a very good day of Polo . The day started with Woods Brookshire Versus Mr Palmer’and Antelope and for the first 2 and 1/2 cukkars looke liked a disaster no passes a 1 man show going nowhere I think down 7 to 2 and a spurt to end 1/2 but 4 th was a new show and the big gun started to pass and found out they could do it and they did equalizing in the 5th then disaster struck the big gun was out . They brought in Matias Magrini and he did well but could not get over the hump as Brook kept the pressure on with Peke and Paneno keeping in orm they do not quit ,

Game 2 was a little bit the same Klentner Ranch dominated most of the first 1/2 up by 5 at times but there are 2 halves to Polo games and this was definitely a 2 nd 1/2 team and they have 3 goals of dynamite and they proved it today Olanzo Andrade and Will Busch showed they are ready for the big time as they took the man scored goals and the big sticks destroy Klentner in the last 2 chukkars these 2 young guns will not get the credit but I guarantee they made the difference , The real thing you seen today was polo is 6 chukkars and you are never out till it’s over and it was an injury in first game but he did not use team like he should have until 4 th and wow here they came got hurt so will never know . Second game was Horses and pride and most of all youth Olanzo and Will made it happen down by 5 they were not worried, and they set the game and the big sticks got it done amazing day for Americans who can play polo USE THEM. It is the first time this year and maybe more to see sponsors andd low goal players become part of the game the way it was .

CU at the Finals

In a very cool day in Santa Barbara polo, Brookshire was not cold at all and were firing from all angles Panelo and Gonzalez were showing a very amazing bit of teamwork with quick passes and they were quick to pass and run with Paco and Scott moving all the time . BSI just did not have even a bit of luck shooting at goal . They did a lot so kept a game that was lopsided most of the way , you knew they could 2 goals in 4 chukkars well it does not work when the boys in Orange have 6 and in control . The stats show the misery of BSI 14 shots at goal to turn the ball over ever time . BSI showed some fire winning the last chukkar by 3 to 1 but it was not there day . I did not stay for Trophy presentation but can bet Peke Gonzalez should be MVP as his Grey in 5th should be BPP . Thoroughbred’s like this Gray were short on field but you only have to watch to see the speed and endurance full chukarrs and still the fastest . This is the old standard and it is a Family affair from Grandpa Daniel to Grandson Peke and in the middle Mariano always on Tbreds . No need for 20 horses and 12 changes in a game. Well done Brookshire .

THE PCO STARTS NEXT SUNDAY

La Karina and Dundas 2 took on a very cold and a bit windy day but it got hot very quick chukkar 1 was fast and furious and all Dundas but they could not make it count. shooting at goal 5 times making 1 and LK got one to end it 1 to 1 . chukkar 2 was also fast but a few fouls 5 to be exact and 1 4 missed by LK rest were 5’s and Dundas up by 1 3 to 2 . Number 3 was a bit crazy as Dundas scored 2 quick and the LK came roaring back to end first 1/2 tied at 5 all . 2nd 1/2 4th was all dundas as they blistered LK to go by scoring 3 to 1 advantage and was Zemi making a # 5 from center all there scoring in one giant hit for LK , Dundas scored 2 on penalties as well to make it 8 to 6 Dundas the 5 th ws a repeat of 4 th but fast and free I think 3 penalties but was all Dundas and finished chukkar up 11 to 7 and LK down by 4 the roof was closing , oh but it was not closed as LK came out to fight and boy did they and I should say Girl because Hope was leasing the charge and the Cowboys behind her were coming fast and they smoked Dundas who may have relaxed a little up by 4 and it was very close to Hope stopping an OT in last 5 seconds with a very close but a miss and send it to OT as LK scored 4 to 0 in the 6 th with 1.40 to go but no one could finish it . So off to OT it was so damn cold everyone wanted it over probably even the Horses but it kept going and Zeda got a knock in and worked it down the field and found paydirt when Dundas received an Open goal and it was over. Dundas in OT , Cody Ellis was MVP and not sure but left before I froze Zedas gray mare should have been Best Playing Pony. A great Polo game a bit weather Ugly I think might have been as cold a game as I have ever been in SB but lots of Talent on field Patrons Cable Magness and Brian Boyd did there teams well and a Slim little Fl. Girl showed she may be the best 2 goal player in America and if te Handicap committee could see this they would help her by leaving her there as they help others and most not from here as you can tell how many we have even here . American youth in Polo is not looking well the young players who want to play and can Sponsor are out , WHY. they want to play not Pay to hear Man leave it ! What happens when the few High Goal Patrons we have now get my age and do not want to pay to have best seat in the HOUSE ?? Change is simple and much cheaper each player has 7 horses no more per game cuts cost 40 % gets rid of 3 minute horses makes everyone have to play and be part of game and we will again have 3 to 6 goal patrons and pay so much less than today and maybe see some big stick Patrons like Orthweins the Busch Boys the Uihliens . Think about it ? Is the USPA with there millions going to start sponsoring polo ????

cya ust an opinion

A recent article just followed what I have thought all along. They are just as crooked as Mexico or Argentina. They should be on any parents list as the best job in America. A young Man or Woman, if they get elected, will make 174 grand a year, so if they make 2 terms, they’ll be millionaires. Also, it they’re elected close to the age of 60, they may never have to work again after 5 years. Just hustle a couple lobbyist and set back. All the while seeing the World first class and having private security that we pay for. It seems like they must be exceptional, especially if you look at what they’re worth entering the office vs. after 8 yrs. They’re between 10 to 50 times as much as they were worth. Som, like Nancy, may be 200 times her original value. They also don’t even have to get approval on their flights with it being so well run. They can fly home first class, but usually in a private jet, to tell their constituents how hard they have been working for them, before they retire after such a stressful job. Either fighting for or against Trump for the last 10 yrs. Best of all, they may not even have to have a college education I hear. The sad thing is they are really not doing anything in many real problem areas.

One easy one to see is the homeless. Maybe 70% are mental problems most brought on by big Pharma selling pain medicine– all approved by congress. “Why” they get paid to approve so they can be stock holders of trillion dollar Corporations through stock is the same reason they get paid to create shortages like Chevron, making 6 Billion dollars profit last year they say.

How many homeless would half of that help? Maybe make Big Pharma pay for all pain medicines, being that became habit, by putting some profits aside for aid instead of congress payroll. One of them cut prices from around a 100 bucks to 37 the other day. Might break them after 10 yrs of gouging.

Now banks are failing but guess who will bail them out again ? I am sure they collected all the money they lent them before, interest free. Just get those Kids in Political science. It may not even take a college education to retire at 40 and then play Polo.

I watched the finals of the Lady’s US OPEN yesterday it was amazing to see; a sure motivator for Women in the USA. And it’s clear Women’s Polo is about to get much bigger. The reason? Hope. That is Hope Arellano. A very young American star on the fast track to 10 goals, and the next Sunny Hale.

Men’s polo continues to decline in America, with American players without dual passports being removed from high goal polo. Hope’s Dad, Julio Arellano, was the highest rated player in the USA in this Century, and though he might have been disabled a couple years ago, he was not diminished in his skills as a teacher. Julio was 9 goals for most, if not, all of the 2000’s, but his Daughter may just pass him, as she played was 10 goals today. Julio was the Coach as well today and worked against the other side with 2 of the best ten goal players (A.C. and Pelon) as their coaches. In addition, the other side had Valiente Horses, and the 10 goal Superstar Nina Clarkin, but this did not stop Hope and her hard working 10 goaler, Hazel Jackson, (who is probably the second best player in the World). Along with Pam Flanagan, the organizer Deluxe, hard riding Wini Bransoum and Sponsor La Fe, they rode off to a huge victory and the title.
Meanwhile, in the Gold Cup it’s down to the semis as Dutton Corp, with a couple of young guns, Joaquin Avendano and Timmy Dutta, backed up by Tomas Del Rio and Mariano Obrergon, who take on David Paradice’s Scone, who have a real young gun Porto Cambiaso (17 yr old and 9 goals), and former 10 goal star, Pelon Sterling, backed up by a true Yank, Cody Ellis. So it should be a good one! Wednesday 3/22/23

In the other semi it’s Pilot who has been here before, like last year, as Curtis Pilot brings the guns of Facundo Pieres and hard riding Matias Zavaleta, along with young gun Matias Gonzalez who take on PARK PLACE. Park Place who have missed very few finals in the high goal and are led by Andrew Borodin and Juan Briton and Mr Speed, 10 goaler Hilario Ulloa, and yank Jason Wates. They have been steady eddy and are ready to close the door to get them here, so it will be a war anyway it goes.

A great week of Polo and it’s just beginning. Hats off to La Fe and the US Women’s Open Polo. It was awesome.

YOU GOT ALL THE INFO TO MAKE THEM SO HAPPY

The finals of the C.V. Whitney was just what most people thought it would be: a very hard-hitting tough game. I said it would be tough without A.C., but it was tougher with him. He did what we talked about— used his jets and followed behind, and it worked. To me there is no doubt young Peke Gonzalez should be MVP. He worked tirelessly against one of the best players on Earth in this Polo game. He also scored some goals, but what was amazing is how good him and Lucas worked with and for AC. They made a couple of miss-communications, but so few.

THE GAME FROM WHAT I COULD SEE.

Chukkar 1 was like 2 chukars in one. Pilot came out in Turbo mode and scored 3 goals in just over 3 minutes, but the game changed with about 3 minutes left, as here comes Valiente making two in just under 2 minutes. They missed a close in to tie, trailing 2 to 3 at the end of the chukkar. Lucas, Curtis, and Matias were flying as Bang Bang Facundo kept ringing the bell, but Mr. Bob, Peke and Lucas knew who was behind them and there was no panic.
Chukkar 2 was another show, following the last 1/2 of the first, as it was all Peke and Lucas of Valeinte making plays and making holes—tying them early and then going up by 2, winning the second by 3. Chukkar 3 was probably the most defensive of all, as both teams were very strong and very well mounted. Maybe the best mounted chukkar with both scoring only 1 — Pilot scoring their first goal since the 3rd minute of the 1st chukkar. They finished the first half with the score 4 to 6, Valiente up by 2.

The 2nd half started strong with Pilot reaching out and striking in 3— 1 a safety and 2 from the field. Bang Bang missed his first #4 in 3 games, but closed the gap 8 to 7. Pilot still losing the game but winning the chukkar by 3 to 2, and it was getting tough. Still the biggest thing was the amazing amount of push Peke continued to put on the defense of Pilot. Chukkar 5 started with a couple of open goals: one by each team, keeping the score close. And with Facundo banging the equalizer just wide, they stayed down by one, headed to the 6th.

Away we went to the final chukkar, and it was a barn burner. It started fast, and Facundo missed his 2nd #4, but soon after he buried another goal, to tie it up with 6 minutes to go. But Lucas and Peke were doing their jobs very well, and it was Valiente again who made the final and winning goal, putting themselves on the trophy stand. They only scored 2 goals in the last two chukkars but it was enough! And overall, the game was it as it gets!

WELL DONE VALIENTE: BOB JORNAYVAZ, PEKE GONZALEZ, LUCAS CRIDAO JR and ADOLFO CAMBIASO!

MVP PEKE GONZALEZ

FINALS #2 IS OVER AT GRAND CHAMPIONS POLO CENTER. THE FINALS OF THE ALL STAR CHALLENGE.

RICHARD MILLIE VS CASABLANCA

A game I expected to be much better than it was. I thought the extra rest from Sunday to Sunday was going to be a big advantage for RH, but it was just the opposite. They never seemed as up to speed as last week, getting beat constantly to the ball and not nearly as sharp as Casablanca. RH stayed close though with CasaBlanca up 5 to 3 at 1/2 time. It looked like RH was coming back as they tied it up in the 4th, but it was short lived. CasaBlanca won the 5th 4 to 1, and just kept on rolling winning the game 14 to 9. Speed was not as expected. Lots of turning and not a wide open game. Barto made 6 penalties and four from the field, I think.

Well done Casablanca – Grant Ganzi, Tom Pieres. Barto Castagnola and Jessie Bray . CHAMPIONS OF THE ALLSTAR CHALLENGE 2023

A BIT OF A SMART ASS THING TO SAY, BUT MAYBE THE NFL SUPER BOWL COMMITTEE SHOULD COME AND LOOK AT A POLO FIELD SO IT WON’T BE SO SLICK AND SLIPPERY FOR THE NEXT ONE.

CYA @ POLO

The game started out like wow. The guns were on fire, as Shack scored 3 goals in just about 3 minutes and missed 3. Shack is led by Santiago Tocalino, a big hitter at the back door, and he fed it fast two his guns, the Magrini boys– Santino and Keko, along with Viana, all fast and young. Chukker 1 ended up with Shack up 3 to 0, but chukker 2 revealed the Pilot squad of Curtis, young Lucas Escobar, and a couple of real gunslingers behind them, Zavaleta and The Real Pilot Bang Bang–Facundo Pieres. The second chukker was quick and so was Pilot, as they outscored the Shack 4 to 2, with Shacks missing 3 again, and giving 2 away on penalties. The third was more of the same. Pilot knocked it in 4 times, scoring 2 on penalties, and going up 6 to 5 at half time.

But the Shack got their guns cooled off at the 1/2 and giving up 3 goals, 2 goals by penalties.

Shack came out hungry in the 5th, down 9 to 6, and scored 4 goals to come within 1, only missing 2 shots over the out line and scored a big #4 in the process. But they gave up one #4 penalty as well. They were down by 1 going into the 6th. They tied it up fairly early, but it they gave it up again with some sorta of dumb foul and, Bang Bang Facundo made them pay scoring the winning goal.

A very good game and hard to believe they stayed so close and could have won . Throw ins were close to even, penalties made were good. Tocalino only missed 1 penalty and Pilot never missed. Knock inns were the big story–Shack had 2, none in the first half, and Pilot had 14. The fouls: 8 for Shack and 14 for Pilot.

So they head to the finals and not sure who is playing–AC or Jetta–but I do know they will need their #4 penalties to go in, because Pilot never missed. But Valiente has 2 other guys who are pretty good at #4s–Peke and Lucas.

Cya on SUNDAY for the Finals!

There was a big change in the lineup as Adolfo C. was unable to play due to a family problem, so young Jeta Castagnola took his place, who is one of the best young players in the world, but he’s not AC yet. He along side 2 very good, young guns Peke Gonzalez and Lucas Criado Jr.

The war started quick as young Jason Waites of Park Place was hot out of the gate, and kept Peke and Lucas, who destroy defenses with speed and tactics, unable to do so early on. Jeta tried a little too hard to control the game and ball, and resulted with Valiente tying the 1st chukkar with a handicap point, losing the 2nd by 1, the 3rd by 2, going into half time down 7 to 4.

The second half was a different game as everyone on Valiente started passing and definitely making up for the first half. They won the 4th chukkar 2 to 1, and the 5th 3 to 2. They went into the 6th, down by one (10 to 9), and with 2 minutes left in the game, they went ahead for the first time, and then scored one more to take them to the finals, 12-10. Park Place was a bit off in the 2nd half–missing about 8 goal shots. But they never gave up.

All in all it was a fairly clean game as I think there were 19 fouls– 9 by Park Place and 10 by Valiente, with 4 out of the 5 #4 penalties missed all by the big sticks.

Stay tuned for the next semi-final report to see who will be taking on Valiente in the finals!

Last Monday Susan STOVAL was honored at El Dorado Polo Club in Indio and yesterday at Grand Champion Polo Center, a Sunday game was played in Honor of a former Chairman of USPA and a driving force in the Association, Richard (Dick) REMENSCHNEIDER. Big guy was chairman from 1995 through 1999. Both were big movers in closing the last century and starting the new one, and they both continued to contribute until their passings. We will miss them and hope their places will be filled with new blood and the same effort they showed.

I’ve been down here in South Florida for a day or 2 and have seen some brilliant games. Yesterday there were 2 very important games, as the winners are headed to the Semis in the CV WHITNEY CUP. The first one was a Dandy. A little rough, but lots of speed. SHACKATTACK, sponsored by a Lovely Lady with no name, took on LaFe who had a run. They fell behind a 4 pro team by 5 goals and the came out flying, and the Shacks started fouling a little (or a lot) too much and Mr Elizade (probably spelled wrong) made them pay. In a game with about 30 fouls give or take, they were still scoring goals–with a total of 29 in all, and they finished in OT with Tocalina getting the Golden Goal. But he had amazing help from the Magrini boys, a Santino was on fire and must of had 5 goals with bombs from Keko and Santi. Schack heads to the Semis! In the Main Game, it was the Chairman, Stewart Armstrong, and Aspen taking on a very tough Valiente, with 3 fire breathing young guns. And it was a long day for Aspen. Their young gun, Rufino Bensadon is very likely headed to 10, but AC had 2 on his side–young Lucas CRIADO and a true gun, Peke GONZALEZ. And with those at his side, they are headed to the semis as well. So you have some big players in the Semis this Wednesday, and you’ll have a good match any way you go, with Hilario Uloah leading Park Place, Facundo Pierces on Pilot, A. Cambiaso driving the Rolls for Valiente, and 4 pros on Shackattack. Just heard this– not sure is it’s true– but it looks like it’ll be Park Place vs Valiente and Shack vs Pilot. If I find out more, I’ll send it on.

Susan Stovall, just plain Susan, or as Alex Jacoy called her: “Stovall,” was #2 at El Dorado Polo for so long, many people never knew Alex and her didn’t own it. This team of two guided El Dorado from the get go and oversaw a growth like never before in polo. It was probably the biggest club in America for at least 2 decades and stayed that way because Susan cared, and worked as well as played, making schedules ever month for 20 goal to 4 goal polo, and back in the 80’s and 90’s, that was sometimes as many as 40 teams playing 2 games every weekend + practice everyday but Monday. Somehow she always got it done. Whether Patrons, Polo players or Grooms, she dealt with them all and pretty much the same way: DIRECT. She was quite the woman—tough as nails while working, and always good for a laugh when the day was done.

In those days El Dorado opened in Nov. around Thanksgiving and ran through April, and sometimes a little of May, and it all went through Susan-from -2 to 8 or 9 goal players. Seldom saw a 10 in this area but we did during the US OPEN back in the 90’s . Polo has changed as new people came and went but El Dorado did not until Susan and Alex stepped down and the recession hit, but it was QUITE a RIDE and we Thank YOU MS STOVALL for that gift.

She will be missed, but not forgotten.
