Tortugas Open
La Dolfina Went Home with the Tortugas Open and the First Clone to Receive an Award
La Dolfina achieved its tenth consecutive Argentine High-Goal title when they beat Ellerstina 18-12 in a magnificent match at the Tortugas Open. And Dolfina Cuartetera Clone 06 was granted the award to Best Registered Polo Argentino Playing Pony of the final.
The pony played by Adolfo Cambiaso in the third chukka was chosen by Judges Miguel Novillo Astrada and Eduardo Heguy with the arbitration of Mariano González, as Best Polo Argentino of the final. Sportivo and Lambada genetics run in its blood. Adolfo Cambiaso:“ It is a great joy that clone 06 should have received an award at Tortugas. The prize comes in response to the work and effort invested by every one of us at La Dolfina who strive to improve our stud.”“ To me this final was differrent from others. This time I was able to make my dream come true of playing six Cuarteteras in a match against an opponent such as Ellerstina and to see that on the field and in such exacting circumstances, they could show that they are up to standard at this level of polo”, said Cambiaso.
“ Today I was honored to be able to bestow the last horse blanket as President of the AACCP upon the first Clone to win this prize! A day that will no doubt go down in history and shall have great impact on the future of polo.” Delfin Uranga
