LECHUZA CARACAS TRIUMPH IN VEUVE CLICQUOT GOLD CUP FOR THE BRITISH OPEN
With the 2007 Queen's Cup to their credit, and success in all their games in this year's Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup for the British Open Polo Championship, Alfio Marchini's Loro Piana side, with its 23 goal line-up including David 'Pelon' Stirling, Juan Martin Nero and Martin Espain, looked to be the favourites to lift polo's most coveted trophy on Sunday 22nd July.
The Final always promised to be a dramatic encounter, but spectators could never have foreseen the turn of events which marked the match as one of the longest ever Gold Cups.
For Lechuza Caracas, the Merlos brothers, Sebastian and Pite, were looking to upset the flowing and exciting game which Queen's Cup winners Loro Piana had so clearly demonstrated throughout the English high goal polo season. But for both sides the match didn't go entirely to plan.
Lechuza Caracas received one goal on handicap at the start of the match, and three more goals came from the stick of Sebastian Merlos before the end of the chukka, with Pelon Stirling contributing two for Loro Piana. With Lechuza 4-2 ahead at the end of the first chukka, they closed the second at 6-4, and the third at 7-5.
However, Stirling had sustained an injury at the close of the chukka and the half time tread-in lasted rather longer than expected. An injury to his thumb forced a fifteen minute recess while a replacement was found so that at the start of the second half Pablo Jauretche took to the field for Loro Piana and contributed two useful goals within the chukka. With the fifth chukka underway, to the incredulity of the crowd, a collision between Loro Piana's Jauretche and Lechuza Caracas's Pite Merlos saw Merlos taken by ambulance from the field with a broken nose. A further 15 minute recess was needed to find a substitute, and it was agreed that Augustin Merlos could replace him. The loss of momentum worked against Lechuza and just one goal resulted from the chukka - this from Martin Espain for Loro Piana.
The final chukka saw Sebastian Merlos regain his confidence and he was able to score twice for his side and draw ahead once again. But Loro Piana weren't finished. A penalty gave Juan Martin Nero the chance to close the gap to 11-10, but it was too late. As the sides both headed back for the throw-in, the final hooter signalled the end of the game and Victor Vargas had won the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup. Not only had he played a very effective role in the number 1 position, but young Henry Fisher at Back, the only English player left in the British Open, had played a game of admirable concentration, working hard wherever he was needed, so that in the final analysis it was a case of the better team on the day winning.
Sebastian Merlos was voted the Most Valuable Player to win the Peter Holman trophy.
Culu Culu had a wonderful launch at The Vueve Clicquot Cup and will be a primary sponsor at the Argentine Open in November in Buenos Aires as well as the inaugural womens Snow Polo in August. |

VIP Box
Beautiful grounds
Cowdray
Semifinal winners with Mrs. Packers
Tuesday July 24th 2007
Dear friends of Culu Culu,
I am pleased to update you all with positive news following our visit to the UK last week launching Culu Culu with a VIP box at the Cowdray Park Veuve Clicquot Cup semi-finals with David Vaughan who heads International at Savills London.
James Packers ELLERSTINA put up a brave fight and played some superb polo but was soundly beaten by the previous weeks Queens Cup winners Loro Piano who subsequently lost to Lechaca Caracas in the thrilling final on Sunday with a tight score of 11 – 10.
There were probably 6,000 people there on Thursday and 10,000 Sunday with a superb corporate turnout and smart VIP tents by Veuve, Cowdray Park and other sponsors. A rain shower in the first semi, a nail biter to the end with spectacular pro polo failed to deter the watching crowd who became truly involved by mid afternoon after a delicious feast and lots of Veuve Clicquot.
Savills set-up the Culu Culu tent next to the VIP area energetically spreading the word about Culu Culu to the professional polo players, team managers and VIP guests. This is undoubtedly the first of its kind in Latin America and the others we have seen (Barbados, Miami and Californian all more residential focused with Polo fields all to one side as opposed to an integrated equestrian and polo estate such as Culu Culu) and judging by the strong response without launching yet to the US or Brazilian market it is unique in its broad appeal, wide open spaces and focus on luxury lifestyle.
The team met up in London where Al Alletzhauser hosted a dinner at Annabel’s last Tuesday and with Tom Travers of Indigo Phuket spent the day running through development strategies, architectural designs and equestrian master planning issues.
The final Culu Culu plan was launched in London and has received an overwhelming response with centerfield making sales this month at USD66/sqm or the equivalent of around USD400, 000 for 1.5 acres which is still substantially below the recently launched polo and tennis estate in Pilar, North of Buenos Aires and a long drive from the airport which are trading at around USD140/sqm.
The King Ooni polo field is now on the market with 6 quick sales this last fortnight and is currently offered at USD60 sqm (10% below the last few plots on centerfield) and has a lovely aspect.
With the Mali Mali Villa designs completed within a month and work starting in August the initial 4 polo fields including centerfield and Mali Mali will all be playable by mid 2008.
The hotel search and negotiations are well underway with solid responses from some of the world’s finest operators. One particular 5 star operator is being pursued and some announcements on operator will be made before November with Mali Mali pre-sales likely in October ahead of the announcement.
Be quick if you are considering a purchase, particularly on centerfield and with villa designs nearly completed purchasers may then move onto the build process that will be explained in greater detail in my next update.
