There is a good chance in Argentina that two names will be associated with the finals –  Pieres and Cambiaso. Thats  normal and they, once again,  are in the finals of the Hurlingham Open which is the second of the Triple Crown. Ellerstina beat Chapa I yesterday and La Dolfina  did the same to Chapa II.  It might have been the otherway –  Chapa II  yesterday and Chapa Uno today,  but no matter they are in the finals come Saturday afternoon.

It will be a war as there are few times that La Dolfina has been tested,  but a strong Ellerstina, coached by Memo Gracida, is going to be testing them no matter what. Recently I was in Argentina and was mildly surprised that Ellerstina reached the finals the way they were playing.  An early bracket loss I thought would not happen, but they in fact,  are in the finals and six others are not. So we shall see. It’s a team deep in horses against a smaller mounted team, but it is quality and quality only.  Mariano Aguirre and Adolfo Cambiaso will have  quality and thats the way it is.  No matter how many horses you have there are not six or eight equals there are always one or two better than the other six and who do you think will play those two or three or maybe four others? It will be a Polo game and it will be a good one I think.

See ya.
