SaraBoca Claims Whitney Cup Presented by Lexus
In commemoration of the annual CV Whitney Challenge Cup presented by Lexus, both teams were decked out in throwback jerseys of classic polo teams at the suggestion of SaraBoca team leader Lance Vetter. The Old Westbury shirts seemed to provide SaraBoca a little extra luck, as they took the cup 14-6 over Golden Zebra.
SaraBoca was led by Gaston Lisioli with 7 goals and Raul Colombres with 5.
Golden Zebra, decked out in classic Greentree jerseys, was led by Juan Sanchez with 3 markers and Julian Daniels with 2.
The Saratoga Saddlery Best Playing Pony Award was bequeathed to Espiranza, Isabela Wolf’s steed in the sixth chukker.
SaraBoca’s Whitney Cup win is counted toward their tournament record in The Hector and Susan Barrantes Memorial Cup Tournament, which continues at Saratoga Polo on Tuesday, August 14th at 5:30pm. For more information at Saratoga Polo, call (518) 584-8108 or visit SARATOGAPOLO.COM.
