However the Polo was hot on and off the field as 4 teams of 12 goals each did it great , wish it could have been Sunday for the crowd but maybe it will be. The finals of the 93rd Ambassador’s Cup will be tomorrow at 1.30 so we can all watch Captain Jack as in Oxley try to win his second Kentucky Derby . Jack and his Fort Lauderdale team won many Championships over the years and this was one of his favorite places to come to. I worked for him for 15 years and this was the only place other than at home office in Tulsa he hung out much, he liked it here and we wish him the best tomorrow with Classic Empire with a very Class Person in JCO.
On to Polo a tournament Jack won several times is on as of today in game 1 it was Mr Palmer and Antelope taking on Mr. Walker and his Farmers and Merchants team and it was close through out never more than 3 goals if it was ever that many and it was in the closing seconds that DW clearing goal or attempting,to scored an own goal sending it into overtime but quickly redeemed himself as he just scored another for his team so F&M goes to 1-0 and Antelope goes to 0 & 1.
Game 2 seen Klentner Ranch blowing out US Polo big time in the first 1/2 but it is not over until the Fat Lady sings and it was not Patrick Uretz ended it all with seconds left to put winning goal in as the clock ticked down.
So US POLO gets a +1 and KR has a – 1 and heads to Sunday as all 4 do .

this should be a good one they met in round robin round and California Polo survived a shootout with Empire to make the finals so out of 6 we have a barn burner coming. You have to remember most of these players are well over 50 and came here to enjoy Polo but as most of us think enjoying Polo is beating your friends and that is the way it will be tomorrow you have the big sticks for SB it is the Amazing Antonio out of Mexico and his Country Man The Bullet Billy Steta he always goes 90 and it is not fast enough and they also have a Bronc Rider named Christan who just likes to fly and Tom Schuerman who slams the back door but can haul ass to the front fast. They beat California Polo once but can they do it again ?
California Polo is organized owned and ran by Rodney Fragodt who is probably the biggest builder of Ca. Polo he teaches and has schools year around and is turning out more Players than anyone in the State. If you have the nerve like Speed and the fastest most addicting sport in the world look him up he is North LA and you maybe on the most exciting trip you ever had and he goes to the unbelievable Empire Polo Club in the Winter so he can fix you up asap.
He brings to the game the Dominator Domingo Questel who seldom gets beat twice by same team and he has a lot of help from Aussie way comes a real Bucj=karoo named Peter Priniville who likes speed and power and they have a secret weapon so far an amazing production from Chuck and he has a long name but is very quick on the field Stanislawski and he is deadly going to goal and there back door formely of the UK can slam the door and mostly has Jef Graham from the Menlo Circus Slub .
so be there we will and the KENTUCKY DERBY PARTY WILL START RIGHT AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!
see ya
