Date: June 15, 2025
Location: Guards Polo Club, Windsor Great Park
Winner: Park Place
Final Score: Park Place 12 – 10 La Dolfina Marqués de Riscal
👑 Royalty, Rivals & a Perfect Finale
The 2025 Cartier Queen’s Cup wasn’t just another stop on the polo calendar — it was the crown jewel of the season. Nineteen world-class teams, global royalty, high fashion, champagne marquees, and horsepower on display created an unforgettable British summer spectacle.
As crowds gathered under the watchful eye of King Charles III, it was Park Place, led by the in-form Hilario Ulloa, who conquered the field and took home their first Queen’s Cup title — after a high-octane 12–10 victory over Poroto Cambiaso’s La Dolfina Marqués de Riscal.
🐎 The Tournament: Highlights & Heroics
- Quarterfinal Shockwave: Park Place dismantled La Dolfina Scone 18–9, with Ulloa scoring 11 goals in a one-man masterclass.
- Semifinal Sizzle: Poroto Cambiaso rode Dolfina Misky to victory over King Power, while Park Place held off Dubai 15–13.
- Final Showdown: A seesaw battle of tactics and talent — with Park Place’s maturity overcoming La Dolfina’s youthful brilliance in six breathless chukkas.
🏇 Players & Ponies that Shaped the Cup
🔥 Top Performers:
- Hilario Ulloa (Park Place): 31 goals in the tournament — and nerves of steel in the final.
- Poroto Cambiaso (La Dolfina): Only 19, already a legend in the making.
- Rufino Bensadon & Rosendo Torreguitar: The quiet storm behind Park Place’s rhythm.
🐴 Best Playing Ponies:
- Why Not I’m Easy (Ulloa): Best in semi and final.
- Dolfina Misky (Poroto): Lightning in the midfield — Cartier BPP of the semis.
- Pompadour (Bensadon): The engine of Park Place’s final push.
👗 Beyond the Boards: Fashion, Champagne & the Clubhouse Scene
The Queen’s Cup is as much about what’s off the saddle as what’s on it.
- Hats ruled. From sculptural fascinators to wide brims worthy of Ascot.
- Cream linens, silk dresses, floral prints, and pastel tones set the dress code.
- Cartier marquees buzzed with royals, celebrities, and jetsetters.
- Helicopters landed. Pimm’s poured. Photographers flashed.
It was, quite simply, where British summer fashion meets equestrian finesse.
🏆 A Legacy Renewed
The Queen’s Cup is steeped in history — first awarded by Queen Elizabeth II in 1960, now presented by King Charles III, a former winner himself. With its blend of tradition, speed, and elegance, this year’s edition cemented the tournament’s place as the ultimate stage of polo royalty.
Park Place’s win wasn’t just a victory — it was a coronation.
