High goal polo from the International Polo Club in Wellington, Florida returns to television in prime time. WHDT will carry the Sunday games for the remainder of the USPA Piaget Gold Cup and U.S. Open 26-goal tournaments at International Polo Club in Wellington, Florida for the second straight season.
“Improved coverage this season includes three cameras to bring viewers closer to the action and the addition of instant replay as an added feature for enhanced viewing entertainment,” promises Executive Producer Ron Allen.
“Polo on television is as close to the X-Games as you can get,” Allen added.
“Polo offers high speed thrills and plenty of action, and the International Polo Club features the most talented players in the world here so it’s a show not to be missed,” Allen said.
Allen brings an extensive background to the coverage as the announcer for the 40 goal Argentine Open on ESPN for the past four years as well as and announcing polo events for Fox Sports TV.
“We are glad to be part of this project” says IPC President of Club Operations John Wash “The response to last year’s coverage convinced us to commit to this effort. Both our fans and our players will appreciate the television coverage.”
Prime Time Polo television starts with the Piaget Gold Cup and will conclude with the nation’s premier polo event the U.S. Open. Games will be broadcast from Miami to Palm Beach on WHDT channels 17 & 44 Saturday nights at 9pm.
Great news! Broadcasting the matches allows not-yet-fans the chance to access the sport. Ron Allen’s play by play last year was great.
