La Dolfina, Ellerstina Etiqueta Negra to open Triple Crown on weekend – Polo Update
As one of the World famous tournaments is going on as two great teams are going to open their accounts in the coming weekend in the opening fixture of the Tortugas Country Club Open Polo Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The two highest handicap teams of Argentina, La Dolfina Dubai and Ellerstina Etiqueta Negra will play their maiden games of the Tortugas Open in the coming weekend. On October 1, Adolfo Cambiaso-led La Dolfina will play a game against Pilara Piaget in the
Zone A while LA Ellerstina will meet Estancia Grande Sancor Seguros in the next day in the Zone B fixture.
What can one comment on the first game of La Dolfina, as it the pre-decided victory for the high-profile team over the shaky team of Pilara. The team lost to La Aguada in the opening match of the Triple Crown season and is facing new experiences in the absence
of Tomas Garcia Del Rio to injury.
Though the La Dolfina team is also going to contest their first official game with an updated line-up, they will be looking to dominate all aspects of the game. The combination of Adolfo Cambiaso, Pablo Macdonough, David Stirling and Juan Martin Nero will
be one of the best teams in the Triple Crown, as all of the members are outstanding in their respective sections.
Nero, while speaking to the media about the upcoming fixture that Pilara Piaget team opened quite impressively against La Aguada. However, a bad chukka spoiled their chances and led to a defeat. He said, “But I think that this Saturday, Pilara will play
better and we must be prepared and take things very seriously because otherwise things will get complicated for us.”
On the other hand, it will be a great opportunity for Pilara Piaget to test their horses while at the same time they will contest the game with a new strategy. They were not sure about the comeback of Garcia del Rio into match, thus they will have to use
new game plan. Pilara does not have much of a chance to earning a spot in the finals of the tournament. For this, they will have to defeat La Dolfina by a heavy margin and they will have to wait for the results of the match between La Aguada and La Dolfina.
On the other hand, Ellerstina is scheduled to play against Estancia Grande which had also lost their game in the hands of Indios Chapaleufu II. The game between Ignacio Heguy and Nicolas Piers will be worth watching. On the other side, Estancia Grande is
not much different from Pilara Piaget. It will be interesting to see how the teams fare as they will be looking to put in their finest performances on the field in this exciting tournament.
