The Molina Cup saw Melissa Ganzi, Grant Ganzi and Nic Roldan win an unprecedented seventh title after defeating Palm Beach Polo, 7-5. Nic Roldan scored one goal and Melissa Ganzi scored six goals for Aspen Valley Polo Club commenting, “There are very few sports where men and women compete equally but thankful to polo we get that chance, it’s always an exciting match. We love competing at this beautiful event every year and we equally look forward to seeing our friends and family when we travel to Scottsdale every November”.

Alongside the polo there was plenty for the guests to enjoy on the sidelines too with the Riot House Polo Day Club, Canine Couture by Lugari Pet Salon and Grimaldi’s Pizza Disco.
