NEW KDHAMPTONS PARTY PIX: THE FIFTH ANNUAL PIAGET HAMPTONS CUP POLO MATCH
On Sunday, August 7th, hundreds of Hamptonites attended the Fifth Annual Piaget Hamptons Cup Polo Match at the stunning Equuleus Polo Club in Water Mill. The afternoon of polo and family-friendly activities raised more than $780,000 for Robin Hood, New York’s largest poverty-fighting organization.
The match between Team Sponsors Credit Suisse and Bugatti featured international polo star, Nacho Figueras, and brothers Cristian (Magoo) Laprida and Inaki Laprida, with Team Bugatti taking home the Piaget Cup. The competition was an 18-goal match, the highest level of polo currently being played on Long Island. Throughout the match, families visited a curated kids area that featured pony rides, arts and crafts and cookie-decorating. At half-time, guests participated in the traditional divot-stomp, while children tried their hand at hitting the polo ball with child-sized mallets. After the match guests enjoyed a casual twilight Argentine asado dinner.
Guests in attendance included: Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, Donna and Gabby Karan, Nacho Figueras with wife Delfina Blaquier, Thomas Bouillonnec and Michael B. Jordan.
