Dolfina Cuartetera ’ s Retirement
Adolfo Cambiaso : “ The best polo mare I ever played is now retiring ”.
The polo lines were bursting for joy . The final bell had sounded at the 122 nd . Argentine Open Polo Final and La Dolfina arrived at its corner to celebrate a new Triple Crown triumph . The third in a row . Adolfo Cambiaso celebrated with his people : with his family ; his collaborators and with each member of his organization . Quite apart from having broken a new record , winning at Palermo was not the only thing they were celebrating . Cambiaso was celebrating the victory of all his work team , because for a horse fan , winning the Triple Crown is much more than a sporting success .
The greater part of this sporting success is due to his horses , and one of Adolfo Cambiaso ’ s winners is Dolfina Cuartetera . Dolfina Cuarterera was born in 2001 . She is a daughter of Sportivo and Lambada . In turn , she carries Lode and Sport Fashion , by Sportivo , blood in her veins , as also of Sequito and Cumbia , by Lambada . This mare accumulated important awards : in 2006 she won Best Polo Argentino Pony of the Palermo Open Final , an award that she would win again in 2009 . As well as receiving other nominations during her sporting career , she was chosen Best Pony at the 2012 Hurlingham Final . At Palermo , Adolfo Cambiaso not only celebrated having won the Open , but also the successful retirement of this pony . “ This is as far as Cuartetera will go ”, said Adolfo . This was the reasoning of Cambiaso the breeder : this mare had already yielded much , and deserved to be put to pasture to rest , without the pressure of playing at the highest sports level .
Since his debut at Palermo in 1992 , Adolfito is one of the greatest winners of the Argentine Open , breaking different records . Maybe his growth and accomplishments as a breeder have escaped some of you ; that talent which allowed him to reach and maintain the level of competitiveness that he displays year after year . At this interview he tells us what his feelings were at the moment
