Lamborghini Polo Classic

April 28, 2008

  The Lamborghini Polo Classic came to Westworld on April 20, 2008. I had never been to a Polo Match before!  There was yo be a Battle of the Chefs luncheon, a Battle of the Sexes Polo Game, hot air balloons, sixty plus Lamborghini automobiles, half-time money run and much more.  The event was sponsored by Motorsports of Scottsdale, U.S. Trust Bank of America Private Wealth Management, and Davinci.  General admission was to be free with a donation to the families of our Service Men and Women from Luke Air Force Base.  The reality of it was the lunch was $200 a head, one hot air balloon which never lifted off I think because of mild winds, and less than 20 Lamborghinis.  Needless to say Polo America, Motorsports of Scottsdale, U.S. Trust Bank of America Private Wealth Management, and Davinci were misleading with their advertising!

 

  Despite the disappointments with the frills surrounding the event, the Polo Match itself was fun to watch!  Each match consists of six timed periods called chuckkers.  The entire duration of a match lasts on average an hour and a half.  There are four players on each team and only a few more riders on the field.  The other riders are referees and officials.  Before the game, I was very uneducated about the sport.  I found an excellent web site that explains everything you could want to know about Polo!  If you too would like to visit the site and learn more about Polo, please visit Sport Polo.

 

  Mostly I enjoyed the opportunity to take some photographs of the cars and the horses!  I will be posting these in my gallery during the week.
