If you love exotic cars, fashion, horses, and lifestyle the event to be at was the
THIRD Annual Scottsdale Ferrari-Maserati Polo Championship Preview Party held at
Dominick’s Steakhouse
on Thursday, Sept. 5th. The upstairs cocktail lounge and social area
was an amazing backdrop to a very well attended event. The highlights
of the party were the guests of honor – the number one men’s polo
player,
Jeff Hall, and the number one women’s polo player,
Sunny Hale.
Their passion about polo exuded from both of them as Polo has been a
lifelong pursuit. Jeff Hall said it best when he called Polo a
lifestyle and not just a sport.

Jeff Hall is one of the most
traveled players and has played in over 10 countries and so many
tournaments, it was hard to come up with an exact number. His most
favorite place to play is Santa Barbara where he grew up. Jeff’s
knowledge and support of the polo industry is immense. He shared about
traveling with the horses nationally and internationally and training
them. Also we found out that his 2 1/2 year old son may someday follow
in his footsteps. He is looking forward to represent at the
championship in November. His continuing focus will be winning as much
as possible and traveling to places such as Hong Kong for future events.
Sunny Hale is
definitely a burst of energy and is a true advocate for paving the way
for women in Polo. She has been responsible for establishing a
blueprint for other women to follow and truly enjoys the opportunity to
represent as well as introduce polo to those who have not played before.
Like Jeff, the traveling, networking, and connections are major
highlights of Sunny’s polo career. Not only has Sunny paved the way for
women, but she has established and founded the
WCT (Women’s Championship Tournament)
which along with another women’s league she formed, provides
recognition of top women polo players from all over the world. The
WCT is dedicated to professionalism, good sportsmanship, and top-level tournament competition.

The top polo players presence at this preview event and the upcoming championship represents the level of recognition the
Third Annual Scottsdale Ferrari-Maserati Polo Championships: Horse+Horsepower
has earned especially after last year having the biggest crowd for a
one day polo event. In addition to polo, the relationship with fashion
is large especially because of the lifestyle aspect.
Phoenix Fashion Week partnered with the Championship last year and hosted one of the VIP tents. So far this year, the tickets for the
Volvo of Phoenix Lounge: presented by
Phoenix Fashion Week (Denise Erickson, from
Volvo of Phoenix,
pictured above & representing at party) are already sold out in
what will evidently be another successful event in November. Other
representatives at the party included the
No 7 Print Campaign Model winner, Nico, along with other models from
Phoenix Fashion Week and
Jani ModelManagement showing off the fashion styles of the polo lifestyle.
