Lockdown What players are doing while quarantined Tommy Biddle Place quarantining: Wellington, Florida
KATERINA MORGAN
Quarantining with: My wife, Amber, and my daughter Bailey comes a few days a week Favorite quarantining food: Mustard molasses pork chops from my John Wayne grilling cookbook Favorite quarantine cocktail: Old standby—Bud Lite Favorite quarantining TV show or movie: The “Tiger King” documentary. It was very entertaining! Something you’ve gotten to do that you wouldn’t normally have the time to do: I’ve been doing more cooking than usual. I love the grill so it gives me time to try new things and work on smoking meats on the grill. If you could replay any polo game right now, what would it be? The 2002 U.S. Open semifinal when I played for Coca Cola. We defeated Los Banditos, Memo [Gracida’s] team with Mike Azzaro, Brandon Phillips and Dave Dollinger. We beat them in overtime to reach the final. It was an awesome game. What horse would you like to be playing right now? Mufasa, he is a chestnut gelding I bought from Dale Smicklas as a 4-year-old and I retired him at 23. He was an amazing horse that I usually played in the sixth chukker. The cool thing is I retired him to my dad’s farm in Aiken, where he is still alive today at 31 years old! It is always cool to see him when I am there. The best thing about quarantine: Getting to spend more time with Amber. By April 1, I am usually off to a different destination to start playing the spring season but that is on hold. The worst thing about quarantine: Just the indecisiveness of how long this will go on. And 24-hour news! Other than polo, what is the one thing you are looking forward to doing when things open back up? Getting back to playing tournament polo at the good clubs I am fortunate to get to play, like NYC Polo Club, Greenwich, Mashomack and Houston, and the time off the field with friends.
