Awards & Special Trophies

Thank you to all our sponsors.
Racing Victoria’s Off The Track Program is kindly providing a rug for the Best Off The Track Pony in each of the three finals.

The 10 Goal ponies will also be competing for the Gary White Memorial Best Playing Pony Trophy. For those who didn’t know Gary, he was an important and much-loved contributor to Victorian polo’s history.
