ESTRELLA/DOS PERROS CLAIMS BONTERA WINES CUP, FINAL SARATOGA POLO MATCH OF THE SEASON
The Saratoga Polo season concluded on a high note on Sunday, with great weather, a large crowd and fine completion as Estrella/Dos Perros got revenge on Shamrock for Friday’s loss to take the Bonterra Wines Cup 8-6.
Ricky Bostwick led the champions with 7 goals, scoring at least once in five out of six chukkers. Ed Armstong also had a score for the victors.
Shamrock had a bit of a slow start early on, but Max Segunda put three balls between the posts in chukkers two and three to keep John Walsh’s team in green close. Segunda came alive in again in the sixth and final chukker with the final 2 of his team leading 5 points. Gene Gass also got in on the rally with a particularly thrilling score less than 30 seconds left in regulation, but Shamrock just ran out of time to mount a full comeback.
The Bonterra Wines Cup concludes the Saratoga Polo season. The 2008 season will begin next June. For more information about Saratoga Polo, call (518) 584-8108 or visit SARATOGAPOLO.COM.
