Horsepower and Star Power Arrive
at the 11th Season Opener
of the International Polo Club Palm Beach
Wellington, Fla. (January 5, 2014) - Gentlemen,
start your engines. The SuperCar HorsePower Show will
be revving up the action (not to mention plenty of testosterone)
on opening day at the famed International Polo Club
Palm Beach, along with Broadway’s legendary song
and dance man, Tommy Tune. From polo watching and stylish
tailgaiting to celebrity spectating and champagne toasting,
there is literally something for everyone at the International
Polo Club!
As part of SuperCar Week, a nine-day, regional exotic
car extravaganza, guests and turbo enthusiasts will
have an opportunity to preview a plethora of high-end,
high-performance, and very high-octane supercars throughout
the day.
 Nine-time
Tony Award winner, Tommy Tune, will perform the opening
day honors with the coin toss at the International Polo
Club on Sunday, January 5, 2014. Songbird and polo darling,
Cristina Fernandez, will sing the National Anthem. The
match starts at 3 p.m.
IPC club president, John Wash, foresees another sold-out
season and forecasts an increase in the international
audience in addition to the local community coming out
for the Sunday brunch and popular weekend tailgating.
“2014 is going to offer even more fun and surprises
for our guests, and it’s going to be one of the
most exciting seasons the club has ever hosted,”
said Wash. “From attracting the top players from
around the world to showcasing the best entertainment
around the country, I would say we have created the
footprint to long-term success at IPC.”
Throughout the upcoming season, all six of the United
States Polo Association’s 10-goal polo players,
including Adolfo Cambiaso and Facundo Pieres, will compete
in IPC tournaments. With 10 goals being the highest
handicap that can be attained in polo, local fans are
guaranteed to see the game’s most elite players.
Some of polo’s most prestigious tournaments are
scheduled at IPC this season, including the USPA C.V.
Whitney Cup, the Piaget USPA Gold Cup®, and the
Maserati U.S. Open Polo Championship®.
“If you’re looking for the perfect place
to spend a Sunday afternoon, replete with champagne,
fashion, and plenty of world-class polo, then IPC is
a wonderful choice,” Wash added.
Ticket prices for Sunday polo at the world-famous International
Polo Club range from $10 for general admission to $120
for box seating. Reception seating starts at $55, Sunday
brunch at The Pavilion begins at $100, and the Veuve
Clicquot brunch package for two is priced upward to
