Plenty to smile about This photograph of 2012 Queen’s Cup winner Adolfo Cambiaso was taken at Dubai Polo’s Berkshire headquarters in June 2010, where the world number one was giving four aspiring young players a lesson. “I took this as they rode back to the stables after playing an impromptu chukka,” says photographer Vanessa Taylor, who captured the moment with a Nikon D3 and a 200-400 lens. “I love it because it’s such a relaxed shot of him. It sums up what was a pretty perfect day, which also included Adolfo playing football with his son Adolfito and a delicious asado provided by Ali Albwardy.” ◗ Read about Adolfo Cambiaso’s Queen’s Cup heroics in full on page 46 ◗ You can see more of Vanessa’s work at www.vanessataylorphotography.co.uk or on pages 32-37 of this issue, where she has shot our exclusive interview with James Beim and Blake.

Interview – Beimy and Blake in harmony
W Words: James Mullan and John O’Sullivan Photos: Vanessa Taylor
illiam Blake coined the phrase “England’s green and pleasant land” in the preface to his epic poem Milton in the early 19th century, now best known as the hymn Jerusalem – a favourite anthem for football fans in Poland and the Ukraine over the last few weeks. So what better venue for our shoot with the band that goes by the same name than the pleasant pastures of rural Buckinghamshire, home to the private polo field owned by Clark Betz, director of Atkins Polo Academy. Why are we shooting them at all? Because the photogenic vocal harmony quartet – comprising Stephen Bowman, Humphrey Berney, Jules Knight and Ollie Baines – have started to learn polo and are hoping to form a team to play in tournaments later this season. They explain the attraction later in this feature but, to help them along their way, we arranged for England International James Beim to give the group a lesson. A mainstay of the national side, Beim has become seemingly indispensable for all England’s biggest games at home and abroad, and his popularity was echoed when the 32-year-old seven-goaler won Best British Professional for the second consecutive year at the Audi Polo Awards in May. Not wishing to miss the chance to interview him as well, we spoke to Beimy first:

How often do you get to train together? We practise pretty much every other day. I knew what to expect with Nick, having played the Gold Cup together last season, and this year he’s really gone for it. He’s a great guy and is putting a lot into his polo, which means he’s always available to get to the stables. The team is also a good one for me to play in, because I’ve played so much with Luke [Tomlinson] for England and with José [Donoso] in the high-goal before. We work well as a group and make our tactical decisions collectively. You’re playing at three for Salkeld, with Luke at back, as you did in the Cowdray Test Match. How do you like this position? Well, I’ve become used to playing number one for England, but it all depends on how the team is formed. A lot of the other players in the England squad have plenty of experience playing in the number three role, so it was easier for me to make number one my position. But, with the lower-handicapped Test Matches, we’re trying to give some of the younger players a chance in that position [number one], and I’ve enjoyed playing further back and attacking from midfield.
Is giving lessons something you do a lot? I suppose I give pointers to my patron Nick [Clarke] but lessons aren’t something I really We’ll talk about England shortly but, aside do at all actually, though I’ve tended to enjoy from the Coronation Cup, the last major it when I do.

High-goal ponies to keep your eye on this month

eing well mounted has always been absolutely key to polo, and the horsepower a player possesses can mean the difference between his team winning and losing. With the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup now in full swing, and the quarter-finals set for Saturday 7 July, each player will be fielding their best ponies in order to help their respective team get one step closer to lifting the coveted trophy on Sunday 15 July. This year’s Cartier Queen’s Cup winners Dubai will be aiming for the double and, with the horsepower of 10-goaler Adolfo Cambiaso – who proved unstoppable at Guards last month – on the team, it certainly won’t be out of reach. The Argentine will be playing two of his favourite ponies. Mambo, a 15-year-old gelding who is officially owned by the Dubai polo team, was influential in the team’s win in the 2012 Queen’s Cup, with Cambiaso scoring once and helping set up two further goals on him in the fourth chukka, as the side raced into a 9-6 lead. Ellerston, who lost to Dubai in the Queen’s Cup final (playing as “Ayala”), have a large number of Ellerston-bred ponies as part of their string, including Gonzalito Pieres’s favourite mare Twiggy. However, they are not the only side to be mounted by ponies with Ellerston bloodlines. El Remanso’s Charlie Hanbury regularly buys ponies from the breeders in Australia. “I bought four horses from Ellerston this year, after trying 18,” Hanbury told Polo Times. “Ellerston produce great horses; they’ve mastered breeding. I’m great friends with Jim Gilmore [Ellerston’s polo manager] and James Beim, who often see the ponies playing in tournaments and I trust them and their judgement. “Samara, who I brought over from Australia this year, is my best horse at the moment.

She is out of Night Opera – a stallion that Ellerston leased for a season – and is unbelievably powerful. She’s only seven-yearsold so I think she’ll be even better next year.” La Aguada’s Eduardo Novillo Astrada, who lines up for EFG Bank Aravali this season, is delighted with the success of the bloodline that has produced his best pony – Pinturita. By River Stanley (USA) and out of Pinta (New Zealand), the mare has previously played in the Argentine Open. “The breeding combination is one of the best,” said Miguel Novillo Astrada, Eduardo’s brother. “All their progeny play the high-goal and Pinturita’s two full sisters have played the Open and will again this year. The great thing about the breed is that all the offspring can be played by a professional or a patron – another full sister is played by EFG Bank Aravali’s patron Karan Tharpar.” Facundo Pieres brought one of his best ponies, Open Pimienta, over to the UK this season as he wanted a good horse for the team. Like Pinturita, the mare has also previously played in the Open – once with Facundo in 2011 and twice with brother Gonzalito in 2009 and 2010. Current Gold Cup titleholders Zacara failed to make it past the league stages of the

These were Lyndon Lea’s Samurai and Grace, who were doubled in two chukkas in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final of the Gold Cup in 2011. ◗ On the following three editorial pages, we profile 18 of the top ponies that will be playing in Cowdray Park’s high-goal tournament this month, so read on... ◗ Discover exactly how Dubai won last month’s Queen’s Cup on page 46 Polo Times, July 2012

12 11 rgentine 10-goaler Adolfo Cambiaso put in another virtuoso performance on the Queen’s Ground at Guards to inspire Dubai
to their fifth Queen’s Cup title in 10 years. The 37-year-old proved he is still the best player in the world by scoring seven goals, including the winning penalty with the last play of the game, as Dubai saw off Inigo Zobel’s talented Ayala side by a single goal in a thrilling final. Cambiaso, who first won the Queen’s Cup title in 1998 with Ellerston White, scored a string of remarkable individual goals and held his nerve in the final chukka while others felt the pressure as he became the first player to win the historic tournament eight times. “I have been told that I have broken the record for the most Queen’s Cup wins, so I am very happy about that,” revealed Cambiaso after his match-winning display. “It was my own record that I
broke, so that makes it even better!” With Her Majesty the Queen watching from the Royal Box as Cartier celebrated its first year of sponsorship of the tournament, the packed grandstands at Guards were treated to an absorbing final in which all eight players on the field played a significant part. For Dubai, former 10-goaler Nachi Heguy brilliantly broke up play, while the work-rate of Aussie high-goal newcomer Alec White, 22, and patron Rashid Albwardy allowed Cambiaso to shine. Ayala’s 53-year-old patron Inigo Zobel was playing in the Queen’s Cup for the first time, but he showed a skill-set of a far more experienced highgoal player. Playing alongside him, Gonzalito Pieres showed his 10-goal quality by scoring eight goals to keep Ayala in the game, while eight-goaler JP Clarkin and three-goaler Tomas

Dubai (22): Rashid Albwardy (2) The ever-improving patron certainly played his part in Dubai’s victory with some impressive defensive work. His only goal came at the end of the fourth chukka when he gave Dubai a three-goal lead. Nachi Heguy (8) The former 10-goaler did not have his best day in front of goal and his two penalty misses in the fifth chukka could have proved costly. However, he did a lot of work for the team and he brilliantly rode off Clarkin in the final chukka.

Garbarini once again proved to be good value for their handicap. The first three chukkas were very entertaining and with very little between the two sides. Three goals full of power and flair from Cambiaso helped to put Dubai 6-5 in front at half time, while Pieres and Clarkin also delighted the crowd with stunning goals of their own. Two quick goals for Dubai early in the fourth chukka opened up a three-goal lead, but two penalty misses by Heguy coupled with four goals by Pieres in the fifth chukka allowed Ayala to level the scores at 10-10 heading into the final chukka, setting up a grandstand finish. Pieres missed a crucial 40-yard penalty, while Clarkin for Ayala and Heguy for Dubai also spurned chances to win the final for their sides in the closing minutes as nerves certainly
“I did not play well in the final, but Adolfo did. This was the Adolfo Cambiaso final” – Nachi Heguy came in to play. But cometh the hour, cometh the man and Cambiaso was the one player to keep his cool. With less than 30 seconds left to play he used his experience to draw a penalty from Garbarini and, having taken over the penalty-taking duties after Heguy’s earlier indiscretions, he slotted the ball through the posts to win Dubai another Queen’s Cup title.

third – final appearance, paid tribute to his imperious teammate’s telling contribution. He said: “It is amazing to win the Queen’s Cup. I did not play well in the final, but Adolfo did. This was the Adolfo Cambiaso final.” The latter stages of the Queen’s Cup this year also witnessed a significant step forward for UK polo as, for the first time, the semifinals and the final of the tournament were shown live on the internet by Pololine. Over 6,000 people tuned in on finals day as former England coach John Horswell and six-goaler Chris Hyde gave their expert views alongside impressively-shot video footage of the match. u

Gonzalito Pieres (10) Showed his 10-goal quality as he almost single-handedly got Ayala back into the game with four goals in the fifth chukka. However, he inexplicably missed a 40-yard penalty when the scores were level in the final chukka, which cost his side dearly. Was ironically kicked by Cambiaso’s pony during a change, which delayed the game for several minutes.

JP Clarkin (8) Proved throughout the tournament that he is good value playing off eight goals and the final was no exception. Scored a tremendous goal from almost 100-yards in the first chukka and showed his horsepower with a brilliant goal in the second on board Gumboot.

Tomas Garbarini (3) Had an excellent tournament in his first high-goal appearance since winning the Gold Cup with La Bamba in 2009. Was not afraid to go toe-to-toe with Cambiaso and Heguy in the ride-off and showed off a remarkable range of shots.

Discover the Wright polo Equestrian art – Melanie Wright’s polo portraits Cotswolds-based artist Melanie Wright is well known for her portrayal of equine and landscape subjects. Trained at Heatherley’s School of Fine Art in London, her talent for capturing atmosphere, speed and light, together with her strong drawing skills and her keen eye for true representation, bring a highly individual vision to her work. Inspired by equestrian events, including polo, racing and dressage, Melanie is often seen sketching at polo clubs, including Cirencester Park and the Beaufort. Her polo works possess a lively, yet informed, style that successfully captures the speed, skill and athleticism of the
sport. “The thrill of polo, is the dynamic spectacle of equestrian theatre played out in front of the spectators,” she said. “The energy of horses and riders, contained for a set period of time on the field, gives an opportunity for true observation, within a highly atmospheric setting.” Working in oils, charcoal, pastel and watercolour, Melanie also paints equine and human portraits to commission. Her work is shown in galleries throughout the UK. For details of her forthcoming solo exhibition in July, see page 90.

Those in the polo world could be forgiven for thinking that the recent Queen’s Cup has been the headline sponsor Cartier’s main focus over the last month. In fact, the luxury French jeweller has been busy away from the polo field, releasing its Spring Collection for 2012. This includes the Panthere de Cartier pendant, pictured above, which is made of platinum, sapphire, onyx and diamonds. Prices are available on request.
Polo Times was present at the international launch of the new Audi A3 in Mallorca early last month, the first significant relaunch of the premium compact family favourite by the German car giants since 2003. More than 2.8 million have been sold worldwide since the first A3 hit the market in 1996, making it among Audi’s most popular models. Just as with the first and second generation A3, five-door models and a cabriolet version will follow later, but the quintessential three-door hatchback will be on sale first in September. Initial options will be a 1.4-litre and 1.8-litre TFSI petrol engine, and a 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre TDI. It’s considerably lighter than its previous incarnations, laying the foundations for more efficient fuel economy. Yet it

Only 15 new RM 053s have been made so they don’t come cheap, but no doubt will catch the eye of many serious watch collectors around the world. From £385,000 www.polotimes.co.uk

The larger wheelbase, new gearbox and re-conformed customised chassis all make it more sturdy on the road, and the driving experience is further enhanced by the packed spec list of “bundled technology” – its drivetrain, mobile infotainment and driver assistance systems (such as the adaptive cruise control from Audi’s luxury models). There’s also a set of very funky climate control nozzles with which the designers we met seemed particularly proud. For those who also want everyone else to know that you’re driving the first of the third-generation Audi A3 at a glance, there’s a mean-looking large, singleframe hexagonal front radiator grill that instantly distinguishes this motor from its predecessors.
