ED ITORIA L
New teams and sunshine, the keys of our success
T
he reputation of our tournament has allowed us to welcome three new teams whom had never galloped the field of the Gstaad airport. These new players, coming from the United Arab Emirates, Italy and Swiss/Liechtenstein, had to put up quite a fight trying to win the Hublot Gold Cup from the title holder Cedric Schweri. The matches took place in a very sportive atmosphere full of friendliness but most of all with a game level never reached before in Gstaad, especially the final. The Banque Eric Sturdza and the Clinique La Prairie teams faced each other on Sunday with game tactics to the level of some prestigious Argentinian tournament and a very tight score (8-7 goals). The other two teams involved, Hublot and Gstaad Palace also kept their own since Saturday morning
we were still wondering who would be in the final. Despite July’s drought, our team did a fantastic job at preparing the field that went from a sad yellow early July to a beautiful green in time for the tournament. Thanks to radiant weather conditions, the public was numerous to enjoy the beauty of the games and appreciate the horses speed. On top of the games, the proposed activities were many, like the “Kinder Paradise” very popular with the children, numerous vendors with an ever-increasing number every year, the VIP lunches and the Gala Night under the VIP tent completed our set up. We are certain that all participants of the Hublot Polo Gold Cup 2018 will return next year from August 22nd to the 25th . Pierre E. Genecand, President NEWSLETTER • GOLD CUP GSTAAD 3
