Things were in a way quite similar to an oasis in the middle of the desert. A sunny day seemed a like a dream come true at Open Door, in outer Buenos Aires, Argentina. That was where the final of the VI Copa Internacional Julio Novillo Astrada between Pilará and La Picaza was able to go ahead on Thursday. Pilará emerged victorious by 14-11.
The final’s score progression in this event which included eight teams with handicaps between 18 and 20 was 3-3, 5-4, 6-5, 10-7, 12-9 y 14-11, with Pilará ahead all the time. João Paulo Gannon, of Pilará, was chosen as MVP of the final, and Electra, belonging to Miguel Novillo Astrada, was elected the Best Playing Pony.
The best playing horse registered as an entry in the Asociación Argentina de Criadores de Caballos de Polo was Rayo Imaginada, bred by Javier Novillo Astrada and ridden by Ignacio Novillo Astrada. The Skeeter Johnston Prize, referred to Fairplay, went to Toto Zubillaga, of the Los Cocos outfit.
