Faces of Polo – Matias Torres Zavaleta

Argentine 6-goaler Matias Torres Zavaleta went all the way last season at the International Polo Club Palm Beach, achieving polo’s elusive Triple Crown with his Valiente teammates. Along with the legendary Adolfo Cambiaso, Diego Cavanagh and patron Bob Jornayvaz, Zavaleta ran the table on IPC’s 26-goal tournaments in 2017, winning the C.V. Whitney Cup, the USPA Gold Cup and the U.S. Open Polo Championship. Zavaleta’s contributions in the U.S. Open final earned him MVP honors. Zavaleta scored 40 goals across 14 games at IPC last season and went 7 for 8 on penalty shots. Zavaleta heads back to Wellington after a busy off season, which included a stop at the inaugural Colorado Open Polo Tournament in August.
