Paspaley Polo in the City - a dash for the dashing
The marquees were up, the sun was shining. Champagne free-flowing and men in polo attire on powerful steeds.
The 2009 Polo in the City Series is a highlight of the social calendar and the G.H. Mumm Marquee the hot ticket. This year those with the right coloured wrist band could toast all day, and down freshly shucked oysters by Two hated chef, Warren Turnbull. The “it” accessory had to be a G.H. Mumm fan or umbrella (last year's was the red galoshes).
Have a look at these pics for the Mumm Dash - a classic (and somewhat startling) sight watching well-dressed ladies kick off their heels and bolt for G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge Champagne. Congratulations to Amanda - her strategy? "There was a bit of jostling at the start but I stayed completely focused on the prize".
We expect more from the Stella Artois men's dash next time - the ladies drew blood!
