Rain Check

How ironic that rain impacted on a tournament at the Santa Barbara Polo Club sponsored by a water company.

But that was the case when it staged the KOPU Lisle Nixon Memorial match, underwritten by KOPU Sparkling Water, a New Zealand company owned by Montecito twosome Justin and Mindy Mahy.

Dire weather predictions meant the match time was brought forward five hours and played in the early morning rather than the afternoon.

Grant Palmer‘s Antelope Junior extended its undefeated record winning 11-9 over banker Henry Walker‘s FMB Too! with his son, Charlie, just back from college in Colorado, coming on the Holden Field as a substitute and scoring convincingly.
