The switch, though productive, didn't send spirits soaring for Cassidy West, as mistakes mounted the pressure to even a growing scoring gap. Anier stressed when she realized the wrong horse was brought to her for a mid-chukker change. Cassidy gave in to a short burst of ill-tempered swearing after he committed a line foul and Boystack scored on the conversion. Gallaher erred and turned her horse over the line and fouled as Birds of Prey converted another penalty shot.

Questel said his positioning plan worked to challenge the strengths of Cassidy West, including the hard-hitting Anier, the U.S.'s highest-rated female polo pro.

"We put Jason in the front and myself in the back. That way we matched a weaker player against a stronger player, so I could get in there and play my game."

Cassidy West's patron had figured on a better outcome, after defeating Questel's team in the Go Honey earlier this month.

"We didn't do as well as we thought we would, but they played really good. Anyway, beating Domingo twice is like asking for snow in this desert. We made a couple of mistakes, but so did they and in the end we did clear out the middle," Cassidy said.

Mike Uretz, club member and an executive with World Gym, established the two-week four-goal tournament played at Eldorado each season.
