Bentley Scottsdale 9th Annual Polo Championships, Horses & Horsepower

The Event
Mark November 2, 2019 on your calendar with two words: POLO PARTY!

2019 is already promising to be the best polo event in 9 years. Kicking off the festivities is a military match featuring the U.S. Air Force vs. U.S. Marines, made possibly by Safeway Albertsons. That’s followed by all-time fan favorite Centtrip Wales Polo Team who will take on the Arizona Polo Club for the first time.

Our featured match up brings the reigning champs Aspen Valley Polo Team back to the desert with superstar Nacho Figueras and team captain Melissa Ganzi behind the reins. Aspen Valley will take on The Royal County Berkshire Polo Club, which is making its first appearance in Arizona. Prince Charles was the organization’s first member. Saturday wraps up with the charity match featuring Southwest Wildlife and Arizona Equine Rescue.

All day long enjoy other Scottsdale Polo Party firsts with one-of-a-kind performances from Arizona’s #1 obo player, an acoustic guitar showcase presented by Sanderson Lincoln, a “hip hopera” fusion and songs from Arizona’s most intriguing new musical, “Americano!” hitting the stage at the Phoenix Theatre in January 2020.

What’s New This Year …?

Some of the new additions include:

Performances during periods of polo play by the best oboe player in Arizona, “hip-hopera” performed by hip hop artist Ali Tomineek and the Phoenix Opera, an acoustic guitar showcase in the Sanderson Lincoln Black Label Lounge and new songs from Americano!, America’s most anticipated musical in 2020. Collectively and individually the performances to the backdrop of the day’s polo matches are some of the most beautiful moments in American sport.

The match will take place at a to be determined time on Saturday, between the polo action.
