Double title holders, Scone, and La Hache qualified to the championship match of the 59th. Jockey Club Open for the Thai Polo Cup, following the semifinals that took place on Wednesday September 18, at the Argentine Association of Polo Headquarters, in Pilar and the Jockey Club, in San Isidro.

 

Scone, who claimed the title in 2022 and 2023, defeated Black Hound 12-9, in the first semifinal in Pilar, led by a powerful Adolfo Cambiaso, who produced nine goals. David Paradice and Co. dominated the match and the scoreboard, and left the deal said and done already in the fourth chukka, with an impressive 11-4 lead. Black Hound’s Francisco Bensadon was subbed in by Gerónimo Obregón.

 

The big blow of the day came later in the afternoon, when La Hache overwhelmed Dubai La Natividad in the second semifinal, played at the Jockey Club, in San Isidro. Hilario Ulloa’s team was merciless; however, Rashid Albwardy’s lineup bounced back in the fourth chukka – they were 3-9 behind and managed to close the gap to two goals (8-10). Although they outscored La Hache 2-1 in the last chukka, the efforts didn’t pay off and La Hache will clash against Scone in the upcoming final.

 

The championship match of the 59th. Jockey Club Open for the Thai Polo Cup, between Scone and La Hache, will take place on Saturday September 21, at the Jockey Club, in San Isidro.
