Dubai Polo League Standings - Habtoor Polo

Updated: Apr 18, 2022

Pre-Quaterfinals Analysis of the Julius Baer Gold Cup 2019



At the beginning of the season, with the arrival of Facu Sola to the Habtoor Camp, we were in high anticipation of Habtoor’s performance this season. However, it appears the game and the plays are a bit too slow for Facu Sola. Here’s what we think of his case:


When you’re ‘very very’ good and you play with ‘very’ good. When your name is Facu, and you’re accustomed to rolling on 30, then end up in 18. It either goes right or left. We think it might be shifting to the left for Facu. Similar to Polito Pieres’ plight last season with UAE Polo, but MRM1 figured it out and she has so fixed it this season.


We’ve watched Facu’s games prior...he thrives on a pace twice as fast. On the field, his adrenaline is off the hook; like he’s got a lot of blood in his redbullstream. If his mallet touches the ball, it somehow ends up being a goal.


Though Habtoor is off to the Semis, when the heat comes on, the kitchen might get too hot for the rest of the team...and their horses. Let’s see if they come up with a strategy that can allow Facu take them to the Finals. But if you ask us: Do what Pablo McDonough did last season with Zedan during the McLaren Cup Tournament. Run solo every now and then.
