Come have fun with your fellow Polo Boosters! This is the highlight event of the year. We will have our own Derby races; a magician; dinner; livestream the Kentucky Derby; and conduct the silent auction. This is our annual fundraiser with the goal of raising money for the Villages Polo Club Academy, specifically a new horse, as well as the Injured Players Fund and other needs. We will start off with our own version of the Derby, followed by dinner, so be prepared to race. We'll watch the Kentucky Derby using two screens and two streaming services. The silent auction will include a wide variety of goods, services and experiences. Lordi will be on hand to keep us entertained and to perform a live auction for some items, including a handmade quilt. Come out and join your fellow polo aficionados, players, grooms and sponsors. Wear your Derby finery and have fun!

The rivalry between polo student George Romero and the Pony Up Polo Boosters continued with the Destiny team defeating our Polo Booster team by one goal. Lordi served as our caterer! He served up hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken, salad and baked beans. Everyone had a great time enjoying polo and delicious food.

Purchase Derby Tickets
Greeters, Selfie and Raffle Ticket Volunteers Needed
The cash raffle on Sundays is going very well and we've raised approximately $5000 so far.  We could use some additional help to ensure we reach all attendees, both in the grandstand and tailgating. This effort will help us reach what we need for a new pony!

As our mission is to support the Villages Polo Club and the sport of Polo, we have the opportunity to do this every Friday and Sunday (raffles on Sunday only) in the Grandstand. We greet people with a smile and answer questions when they arrive at the Grandstand.  We assist those taking selfies in the photo booths by providing them a helmet, mallet and ball. And on Sundays, we conduct a cash raffle with all of the proceeds going to acquiring a new pony for the Polo School. Come have some fun with the crowd and help them enjoy the polo experience. If you'd like to help with any of these efforts, please send us an email at ponyuppoloboosters@gmail.com or stop by the information desk in the Grandstand.
