6-4½ Victory for Standing Rock in St. Moritz

26,000 spectators over three days of competition

On Sunday 25 January, thousands of spectators descended upon frozen Lake St.Moritz for The 41st Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz Finals’ Day. 
The first match of the day saw Azerbaijan-Land of Fire and Mackage battle for fifth and sixth place, with intensity and passion on display as they competed for The Casablanca Trophy, which ultimately saw Azerbaijan-Land of Fire secure a narrow 5-4 win. 
The action continued with the Subsidiary Final between Investec and St. Moritz-Top of the World for The Mackage Trophy, which saw another close score as Investec ran out the winners with a score of 5-4½.
After a brief pause in the action for lunch in the sumptuous VIP Tent and Polo Village, spectators packed out the grandstands for the Final between Flexjet and Standing Rock – two side with impeccable pedigrees. In a thrilling match, which saw the lead constantly flit between the two sides, in the end it was the relentless pushing and cool-heads of Standing Rock which secure Philipp Müller his first Snow Polo World Cup title. For Max Charlton it was his sixth win, Nacho Gonzalez’s fifth and Raul Laplacette’s third. 
After the match, Laplacette was chosen as the Most Valuable Player; Max Charlton’s gelding Big Brother was named Polo Times Best Playing Pony whilst St. Moritz-Top of the World Team Captain Sebastien Aguettant received the Best Playing Patron Award.
