There were 3 games today opening day of the Pacific Coast Open 2016.
10 am here comes the Walkers sons of Ken Walker founder of keeping SBPC here or 1 of the 3 and as they passed the Baton off to there Children and
both Dan and Henry have done well carrying the Baton over the last decade
and the last few years sharing teams but now they are on there seprate missions and OH are they. Some of the best battles of the season have been these two Teams Dan has young Gun Herndon Radcliff and Yoaquin Panelo and Big Stick Lucas Criado and Henry is sharing a team with Francisco De Narvaz and they have a burner in Felipe Vercilano and big gun Paco De Narvez and today was another close one like overtime as Criado punched it home to win 5 to 4 in a very close game with a lot of defense and a rough field it was not a goal scoring day. so F And M goes to 1- 0 and F and M
Too as they call it go to 0 – 1
Game 2 at High Noon seen Restoration Hardware and Bossman Ben Solemani who
made more plays on the Man than his pros Costi Casset, Jason Crowder and Santi Von Wernich and played very well the whole game and they ran by Lucchese in a good but not a big action game this is way, not to play Polo tap and follow but they won and I am sure Ben was a big reason because he went to the man and sometimes it was a big stick , and that is a plus all day long. Lucchese with Captain John as in Muse with Steve Kroger , mallet man Nacho Badiola and big stick Jeff Hall played the same ball no man and
lost the battle of White Pants Polo meaning do not get them dirty by marking a man . I am sure I am not helping my case but it is the way it is .
Game 3 at 3 was the best game of the day SD POLO FARMS did everything but Win they played outstanding @ times and not as Allen Martinez came to play and the rest were just as hungry they led by 3 after 1 chukkars were tied at end of 2 trailed by one at 1/2 time led by 2 at end of 4 lost 5th by 1 but led by 3 at one time and lost in the 6 th with a huge goal with 37 seconds on the clock . Patron Mr Dantata must be very happy for them but sad they did not get a W as they could have should have but just did not stop Klentner Ranch with some big time young Guns The Obergons, Facundo and Geromino and hard hitting playing Jessie Bray and Head Gun Justin Klentner
