Hunka, Hunka Burnt Mill - Winning 12-11 Against Silverstone Farms!

What a great turnout for Sunday's 3:00 game at Whitney Field! As soon as the overcast skies cleared up, out came the sun...and so did the spectators! Both sides of the field were filled with cars and fans, ready to cheer on their favorite teams. The Burnt Mill team of Bill Pattinini, Del Walton, Federico Wulff, & Marvin Slossman were burning up the field in an intense game that was back and forth in every single chukker!



With 2 seconds left in the final chukker, it was Del Walton who scored the final point to break the tied up game, leading Burnt Mill to a 12-11 victory over Silverstone Farms. Although Silverstone didn't pull out the "W" the team of Keegan Walsh, Tom Thayer, Gabriel Crespo, & Justin Pimsner gave Burnt Mill a run for their money and certainly is a team to watch for the rest of this tournament.



The Polo Pooches of the Day for this past Sunday are always on the sidelines at Whitney Field and always happy to see us when we walk by. Little Lucy and Belle belong to Mr. & Mrs. Graham. We hope the two pups have fun sharing the Bone-i-Fide Bakery goodies! If you want to pick up goodies for your own pooch, go visit Peggy at Bone-i-Fide for some freshly baked treats! Take a peek at what they're baking up...http://www.boneifidebakery.com/



Just when I had almost given up on a Best Dressed winner for the day, Announcer Bob helped me choose Ms. Stephanie Rawicki for our Equine Divine prize! Stephanie had on a very "horsey" collared top and a visor to block those rays & catch the action! She was in town visiting from Cincinnati, Ohio, so we hope she got a chance to use her gift certificate to Equine Divine before leaving town!



The Best Divot Stomper for the day was David Stinton. Looking sharp in his pink polo shirt, he was jumping all over those divots at halftime. With a red Solo cup in one hand, he did some serious work on the field and didn't spill a drop! Good job, David! He received one of those snazzy Aiken Polo Club caps and a free treat at Sweet Cow Creamery!

Our Lucky Number winner never came to claim their prize this past Sunday for the "Free 1 Hour Training Session with Kenny Ray" so I guess that means this Sunday we will have TWO lucky number winners. Just a special treat from the CMP girls! And while I really wanted to give the Prime gift certificate to the Best Tailgate Spot...I just couldn't find one that stood out this time. Let's see if you fans can step up your tailgatin' and show us how it's done!
