Sun 31st Aug 2014Valiente win top prize in Sotogrande Valiente defeated Ellerston in one of the most exciting matches of the season
Valiente beat Ellerston to win this year’s high goal Gold Cup yesterday evening with Bob Jornayvaz, Santiago Torres, Santiago Laborde and Adolfo Cambiaso’s win securing them their third title of the Spanish season. Despite Ellerston proving to be tough competition, the score reading 10–10 going into the last chukka, Valiente returned to the field in the sixth with a fresh energy taking the final score to 14–11. Victory for Valiente makes them the first team to have won all three titles in one season since Prince Jefri Bolkiah Ahmibah in 2008 – an impressive achievement for a team in their first season playing in Sotogrande.
Facundo Pieres’s One Magnifica was awarded the Best Playing Pony Prize while Adolfo Cambiaso was awarded the newly introduced ‘Memorial Javier Novillo Astrada’ prize for the Best Player of the Tournament.
Lechuza Caracas defeated Halcyon Gallery to win the Subsidiary Final 10–8.
