GOLDEN ZEBRA TAKE DEL CARROL CUP
Golden Zebra came back from an early deficit to claim The Del Carroll Memorial Cup at Saratoga Polo on Thursday, besting Dos Perros with a final score of 11-7.
Dos Perros jumped in front early with a pair of scores from Juan Sanchez and Gene Gass in the first chukker, while Golden Zebra was held scoreless. Tab Orthwein put one between the goal posts in the second and Gass had another pair to close out the third to preserve Dos Perros’ margin heading into the half.
Golden Zebra came alive starting out the second half, with Ashley VanMetre, Isabella Wolf and Gonzalo Fucci all scoring to put them out in front and keep them there. Bloomfield, meanwhile, was held scoreless in the fourth and fifth chukkers. Sanchez did start to rally with a pair of goals in the sixth and final chukker, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide back in Bloomfield’s favor.
The next match at Saratoga Polo is The David N. Deutsch & Co. Cup at 5:30pm on Friday, August 17th. For more information about Saratoga Polo, call (518) 584-8108 or visit SARATOGAPOLO.COM.
