2009 Miami Beach Polo World Cup

They were having the finals of the Polo World Cup today, so I swinged by to take a few Shots.

The Black Watch lost to the Bombay Sapphire 7 to 6 with only 2 sec on the clock.

Here's some pics. C&C are encourage.

Yup, I must say that I am totally digging that last shot That's a romance novel cover waiting to happen..... Great series, must have been awesome to watch!

Thanks
I asked friends if they wanted to go with me and they said it was too boring. Well they were wrong, it was non stop action and was pretty cool to watch. It's crazy the way the horses are following the ball and watching it at all time, like playing ball with a dog.
I will definitely go back next time they play here again.

Author Jilly Cooper should have paid BIG bucks to have that last shot as her cover for "Polo".. he could easily be the main character, Ricky France-Lynch

And then i'd have to buy the book twice... one to read, one to gawk at.

Fantastic shots!!!!

Do they always play in the sand there? Eliminates the whole "stomping of the divots" activity between chukkas...

It was my first time going, but I would thing that if they do it every year it would be there in the send.

They had a tractor pulling a big log to flattened the send between games and half time.

Nicely done. What were you shooting with??

my old 30D and 70-200 f/2.8 is

Nice work! I really like the first & last shots.

Great shots. Love how you captured the action.

NIce shots
