Juan Martín Nero:
“She Played Amazingly Well”
La Dolfina’s back highlighted the Polo Argentino
pony’s performance during the Palermo Open fi-
nal, and says that she is a mare that is “very easy
to play”.
As they celebrated, Juan Martín Nero took a few
minutes to analyze Vasca Harrods’ performance.
“She really played a very good game”, he said.
“I made her enter the field three times during the
match and never imagined that she’d hold out as
long as she did. She always had what was needed
for each play. She played amazingly well”, added
La Dolfina’s back.

“The mare is very easy to manage and when you
need her to—in a match like the final—she never
stops running. The goal she made on the side of
the score-board happened because of the spe-
ed and staying power of this mare, who overtook
everyone on the way”, he explained happily as he
continued to receive acclaim.
And finally he told us when, during the match, he
played her. “I put Vasca Harrods on the field during
the first minutes of the first chukka. She then played
in the fifth until she was hit by a ball, and I took her
out so that she should recover, and I ended the game
with her. The truth is the little mare did magnificently”.
