Nine teams, featuring six 10-goalers including the legendary Adolfo Cambiaso, have entered the three major high-goal polo tournaments at International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington for the 2021 season.
The three 22-goal tournaments known as The Gauntlet begin Feb. 17 with the C.V. Whitney Cup (final on March 7), followed by the USPA Gold Cup (final on March 28). The Gauntlet concludes with the U.S. Open Championships, which begins in late March, and the final scheduled for April 18.
Cambiaso is the linchpin for a new Gauntlet team, Scone, which also features his 15-year-old son, Poroto, a rising star in the sport. Poroto is rated at 6 goals in the U.S. and 8 goals in Argentina. They are joined by patron David Paradice from Australia and 6-goaler Peke Gonzalez.
Other 10-goalers joining Cambiaso, who turns 46 on April 15 and is generally acknowledged as the greatest player of his generation, are Facundo Pieres and Gonzalito Pieres, who both play for Pilot, Sapo Caset (Tonkawa), Hilario Ulloa (Park Place) and Polito Pieres (La Indiana).
There is limited seating and tailgating opportunities at the stadium due to the pandemic. However, Global Polo TV on the internet is expected to show every game live.
