On Monday 11/24, on field 1 in Palermo, date 7 (fourth of Zone A) of the world’s top competition of our sport ended: the 132nd Argentine Polo Galicia Open presented by Visa.
The only candidate for the AAP Triple Crown, La Natividad La Dolfina, got its tenth consecutive win in the season after beating Sol de Agosto by 20 to 6. In this way, it was left with the Hublot Cup that was at stake and was in a position to define the first finalist of the tournament against UAE Polo next Saturday 29.
For its part, the team that was defeated closed its participation in the tournament and did not achieve its goal of qualifying directly for the Triple Crown 2026. At most they will play in the Repechage, but for this they must hope that on the last date La Dolfina II and La Zeta Kazak do not win.
