Wed 6th Dec 2023El Overo Z7 UAE Qualify for 2024 Triple CrownNarrow 13-12 win against La Irenita
On Sunday 3 December at the Alfredo Lalor Headquarters in Pilar, Copa Cámara de Diputados winners La Irenita went up against the eighth team in the 2023 Argentine Open ranking – El Overo Z7 UAE. El Overo Z7 UAE’s Teo Lacau was replaced by Santi Cernadas while La Irenita went into the match with an undefeated streak of 11 games. Unsurprisingly, both teams fought tooth and nail right down to the final bell, with Cruz Heguy coolly sending home a penalty in the last minute to secure the 13-12 win and means the El Overo Z7 UAE will be automatically pre-classified for the 2024 Triple Crown along with La Dolfina Saudi, La Natividad, La Hache La Roca, La Ensenada Brubank, Ellerstina Yellow Rose, Cría La Dolfina and La Hache Cría & Polo.
