Victory in 47th Abierto del Jockey Club makes Adolfo Cambiaso happy – Polo Update
The quartet of La Dolfina led by legendary striker Adolfo Cambiaso displayed outstanding show against La Irenita in the finals and lifted the 47th Abierto del Jockey Club that took place at the Jockey Club in Argentinean city of Buenos Aires on September
17. The triumph lifted the confidence of La Dolfina as all of their players were pleased by their tremendous performance.
The players from the winning squad spoke with the media after the match in which they described the victory a great achievement, as the tournament is considered one of the high handicap shows in the spring calendar. Adolfo Cambiaso, who is currently standing
at the Number five position in the World Tour Polo (WTP) ranking, stated that it was great to make a comeback in his home country after a long time. He at the same time expressed pleasure for winning the mega tournament representing the La Dolfina Club.
He further commented that their main objective will be Palermo. However, this was also a great competition. He said, “The main aim as usual is Palermo, although it's important to kick off here with a win. We will find out what the team's level is in the
future. On the other hand, the horses are fine; today I used the usual ones.”
Another player of the winning team, Matias Magrini was of the opinion that it was a brilliant game filled with lot of thrill and excitement. No one was guessing the results until the final whistle at the completion of time. While describing the game, Magrini
commented that they had opened up the battle quite brilliantly but later slowed down with the passage of time. They made few errors that punished them in the head of goals, he added.
Magrini said, “I felt very well on the field, it's easy to play having these team-mates. At first sight, La Dolfina (in the Triple Crown) should prove to be the best, but we have to wait and see how it all works out, I hope they win it.”
David Stirling, another member of La Dolfina, believes that the event was quite entertaining. He stated that the line-up was in a good state of preparations and displayed an impressive show. He furthered informed that he had great experience by playing with
Cambiaso, Matias Magrini and Alejo Taranco.
Commenting on the final show, he said the second last frame was not a good period and they conceded goals. He also praised the players from the opposite team which were triumphant last season.
While replying to a query regarding the future of the team, he informed that they started practice and had wonderful expectations for the upcoming mega event. Their main objective surely will be victory in the Triple Crown.
