Saratoga Polo Association begins its 115th season on Friday July 12th at Historic Whitney Field and the anticipation is palatable. Throughout this summer’s matches, crowds are expected to hitting over the 30,000 mark during 16 plus matches over 8 weeks. Managing Partner Jim Rossi is enthusiastic about the excitement, “Guests will join us throughout the season whether we toast with a Veuve Clicquot sabrage, or browse great shopping with the US POLO ASSN Shop at Whitney Field, and of course, world class polo.”
If you love food, you will be overjoyed with Old Daley Catering and Events at the Saratoga Polo Club as the exclusive caterer.

We are also presenting an opportunity to host business to business gatherings in the VIP Pavilion with the matches on Friday and Sunday.”
