One tO Watch Being forced to shuttle to and from caracas throughout the 2011 Florida high-goal season seems to have little effect on either the quality of Venezuelan banker Victor Vargas’s play or on the success of his Lechuza caracas team. they captured both the c.V. Whitney and the Us Open championship, and took audi to overtime in the final of the UsPa Piaget gold cup. a familiar figure on the high-goal scene in the United states, england and spain, Vargas has led his team back from one of the game’s worst tragedies just two years ago, when 21 of his prized polo ponies died on the field-side while preparing to play. they were later found to have been poisoned by selenium. a 25-year veteran of the game, Victor is a constant scoring threat at the number one position. Rated among the top mounted patrons in polo, his disciplined organisation continues to produce one of the game’s most competitive teams.
