Now there are 8 left as the Quarters are due this weekend and of the 8 teams four have 10 goal players and there are only 5 in the UK now and they are the only 10’s in he UK ratings so maybe it is a good idea to have one .
Do you have to have one to WIN? Maybe maybe not the new rules definitely
make it a little better for team Polo to be much stronger and more important which will even get better if Horse idea by Javier Tanoria comes into plays soon . This 6 horse rule maybe the way Polo returns to the top of its form as it makes it a game many more can afford .
Back to the British Open it has been amazing to watch with some outstanding games and fabulous coverage, well done polochannel great work. You have some great teams doing as expected Valiente , King Power but you have a heard of newcomers just as tough. The Darling of them all so far is La Indiana with an unusual mix a Patron M. Bickford who is a definite + in this level Nic Roldan that last wore a 2 when he was 12 and De Lusarrwta who looks like a 1 or 2 but does not really matter at 6 goals reminds me of Gonzalo at 6 in 1980. Look out he is 9 next year but the combo of LI is so smooth you have no idea who is playing where and I do think not many there have either. Others who may shake it up without a 10 are Clarke and Green and also El Remanso with an all Britain lineup the draw may already be up just could not find it but it will be well worth a look. I think it would be a great idea for the USPA to have a look at this Open and see what protecting your players does for a Country at least 20 UK players in it and US OPEN maybe 4 and the Patrons and do not use reason is we have no players over 7 goals because the only reason is YOU USPA. I will be happy to explain if can not figure it out .
