SARATOGA POLO BRINGS BACK SUNNY HALE – THE HIGHEST RATED WOMAN IN POLO AS ALEX AND ANI PRESENTS WOMEN’S WEEK FEATURING THE VEUVE CLICQUOT WOMEN’S CHALLENGE LABOR DAY WEEKEND
Saratoga Polo Association’s record for promoting women’s polo with the first women’s tournament in the United States, (Alex and Ani presents Women’s Week featuring the Veuve Cilcquot Women’s Challenge), announces the return of Sunny Hale, considered to be the best women’s polo player in history.
Ms. Hale has the stats to back up her reputation, and will be part of the exciting play all week long as Alex and Ani presents Women’s Week at Saratoga Polo featuring the Veuve Clicquot Women’s Challenge.
Besides being the founder of the American Polo Horse Association, she is currently the highest rated woman polo player in America at 3 Goals, the first woman in history to win the US Open Polo Championship (the most prestigious and highest level polo tournament played in the United States), attained the highest rating ever given to a woman (in the history of the sport) of 5 Goals, after winning the US Open Polo Championship with Outback Steakhouse Polo Team in 2000 (Team owner- Tim Gannon, teammates; Adolfo Cambiaso, Lolo Castagnola, Phil Heatley).
If you want some perspective, these ratings are the equivalent of a woman playing as a professional on the winning team in the NFL, the World Series or NBA Championships.
Jim Rossi, Managing Partner of Saratoga Polo looks at this opportunity with excitement and satisfaction, “Saratoga Polo was one of the first polo clubs to present a major women’s tournament. With the help of sponsors like Alex and Ani and Veuve Clicquot, we are proud to bring this fastest growing part of the sport to the Saratoga Springs destination.” Rossi continued, “Sunny Hale’s return participation this year confirms that this tournament is one of the top women’s tournaments in the United States.”
Alex and Ani Presents Women’s Week featuring the Veuve Clicquot Women’s Challenge public matches will be on Friday, August 29 and Sunday, August 31st at Saratoga Polo at 5:30pm, with the gates opening at 4pm.
