The Cartier Queen’s Cup Polo Final is not only one of the most exciting dates in the sporting calendar, but is also one of the most luxurious days out on the planet.
Set in the beautiful grounds of the Windsor Great Park, the Cartier Queen’s Cup Polo Final sees the biggest names in the sport of polo compete for a chance to win the prestigious Cartier Queen’s Cup 2018.
The day’s climax came in the final match between Michael Bickford’s La Indiana and Andrey Borodin’s Park Place. La Indiana previously starred in two finals, while Park Place were competing in their first Queen’s Cup Final with the newcomers looking to upset La Indiana and their 10-goal polo superstar Facundo Pieres.
At half-time Park Place were leading 6-4, however La Indiana were able to fight back before winning the game 9-7, thanks to a superb second-half display from Pieres.
