Ivan the Terrible Twilight Polo Challenge Trophy Guards Polo Club, Saturday 29 May
Revenge a dish best served cold
A Guards side recaptured the Ivan the Terrible Twilight Polo Challenge Trophy on a grey and rather chilly evening this May, beating Moscow Polo Club 9-5. Guards lost 5-4 in a higher-handicapped encounter in 2009. This year spectators in the hospitality areas followed the action as they sipped champagne and vodka cocktails, witnessing a quick start to the game as first the Russians led, then Guards fought their way back into the lead.
Dimitri Cherbotarev, the brains behind Ivan the Terrible’s UK operations, was on the Moscow side. They led 3-2 in the first chukka, but that was to be as good as it got for the visitors, who trailed 6-4 at half-time and 9-4 at the end of the third, though they scored one final goal in the last. Russia’s own Princess Olga presented the prizes, which included an award for Adrian Kirby’s best playing pony, Evie, a 10-year-old Australian mare.
