There’s Something
For Everyone at International Polo Club Palm Beach
WELLINGTON, FL (February 11, 2007) – The polo
season is in full swing and the baseball season is about
to begin, but that didn’t keep a couple of Florida
Marlins baseball players from taking a break from practice
to appreciate the world-class athletes and high-speed
action at International Polo Club Palm Beach.
 With
spring training less than a week away, relief pitcher
Taylor Tankersley and catcher Matt Treanor (pictured
with IPC's General Manager Michael Brown) participated
in the pre-game coin toss ceremony and watched some
of the best players in the world.
And there’s always more than world-class polo
every weekend. The Panera Bread Kids Fun Zone attracts
a large and loyal following. Charities choose the club
as a unique venue – this week, Food for the Poor
and Elite Greyhound Adoptions/Pure Thoughts Inc. Horse
& Foal Rescue each held benefits at International
Polo Club, raising money and awareness for their respective
causes.
On the field, the game was close to the very end as
Fred Mannix Jr. scored with 53 seconds left to carry
BTA over Lechuza Caracas 11-10 in an Ylvisaker Cup presented
by Cartier quarterfinal match on Stanford Field at International
Polo Club.
Kelly Beal of BTA received the MVP award from Dr. Jennine
Cabanellas and Juan Gonzales of The Wellington Institute.
Craig Dickmann of Cartier Palm Beach handed out prizes
to winners and Scott Chaisson of Stanford Private Wealth
Management presented gifts to the runners-up.
The tournament marks Cartier’s return to polo
and links both institutions that rely on elegance and
passion. The high-goal polo season continues this Sunday
at 3 p.m. with the championship match of the Ylvisaker
Cup presented by Cartier.
The polo matches are open to the public and tickets
may be purchased at the gate on the day of the game
or in advance at the stadium box office. International
Polo Club Palm Beach is located at 3667 120th Avenue
South, between Pierson Road and Lake Worth Road in Wellington.
For information, directions or ticket purchases, please
call the club at (561) 204-5687.
