Spectators, fans and fashionistas reveled in the beauty of a glorious day at the International Polo Club Palm Beach on Sunday, Feb. 28.
Guests at the exclusive Coco Polo Lounge celebrated in sophisticated style and panache with a vintage double-decker bus, chic lounge area, private bar and Worth Avenue swag bag.
At the Veuve Clicquot Airstream Lounge, the champagne flowed and guests were dressed to impress. Of course, the fun never stops at the Lilly Pulitzer Patio, and the high-energy Pavilion after-party entertained a lively crowd of polo enthusiasts.
On the field, it was a strong defensive polo match with both teams fiercely protecting their turf. Well-executed shots were blocked, keeping goals to a minimum. Orchard Hill and Dubai were tied 3-3 at the end of the sixth chukker. In sudden-death overtime, Orchard Hill scored for the 4-3 win. Peke Gonzalez won the MVP award, while Wembley was selected as Best Playing Pony.
Don’t miss the action Sunday, March 6, with Sentient Jet presenting the C.V. Whitney Cup and the start of the Sentient Jet Challenge for polo patrons. Purchase tickets early, as it will surely be a sellout.
The International Polo Club Palm Beach is located at 3667 120th Avenue South in Wellington. Polo matches are open to the public, with a wide range of hospitality and guest seating. Tickets start at $30. For ticketing and sponsorship information, call (561) 204-5687 or visit www.internationalpoloclub.com.
