For his efforts, Garcia del Rio was named Most Valuable Player while Tunito, his 14-year-old Dark Bay Gelding claimed Best Playing Pony honors. Semifinals: Play continued in the Joe Barry Memorial at International Polo Club Palm Beach on Field 4, as Beverly Polo claimed their first win of the tournament with the 12-10 victory against CK Shack, while Patagones captured the 10-8 win over La Fe to leave all four teams with a 1-1 record. Final will be on Tuesday, January 18 at 1:00pm ET at U.S. Polo Assn. Field 1.
Opening day: Following a spectacular overtime Iglehart Cup victory for Beverly Polo over La Fe, the two teams met again in the opening of the Joe Barry Memorial at International Polo Club Palm Beach. A second thrilling contest ensued, as end-to-end play came to a captivating conclusion with La Fe’s Robi Bilbao guiding the ball between the posts at the end of regulation to take the game 12-11. The feature game of week on U.S. Polo Assn. Field 1 showcased Patagones with an identical line-up from the 2020 against newcomers CK Shack. Relying on the familiarity and experience of CK Shack’s father-son duo of Matias Magrini and Keko “Keko” Magrini, along with Tomas Willans’ two goals, led CK Shack to the efficient 13-9 victory.
Semifinal action in the Joe Barry Memorial continues on Wednesday, January 12 between CK Shack and Beverly Polo at 11:00am ET, followed by Patagones against La Fe at 3:00pm ET.
En suplementario, Patagones se queda con el Joe Barry Memorial
Finalizó otros de los importantes torneos del alto en la temporada de Palm Beach: el Joe Barry Memorial. En el IPC, fue la segunda competición del año en 18 goles, de la que participaron cuatro conjuntos: Beverly Polo, La Fe, CF Shack y Patagones.
Con la lluvia que pospuso la final del Joe Barry Memorial el domingo, Beverly Polo y Patagones volvieron a la acción para determinar el campeón en Isla Carroll West. Valió la pena la espera, Patagones finalmente se quedó con el título de manera agónica, con un 11-10 en tiempo extra con gol de Tomás García del Río. Por su esfuerzo, García del Río fue nombrado como MVP de la final y Tunito, su caballo de 14 años de edad, se quedó con el BPP.
