Mon 12th Feb 2024 C.V. Whitney Cup Weekend Results Opening wins for Coca-Cola, Tamera, Park Place & La Dolfina The first leg of the 2024 Gauntlet of Polo, The C.V. Whitney Cup, began on Friday 9 February at the National Polo Center, in Wellington, Florida. The tournament has eight teams up to 22 goals competing across four leagues with the Final scheduled for Sunday 25 February.  The opening day of the tournament saw a 12-10 win for Coca Cola against 2023 C.V. Whitney champions Valiente and a narrow 11-10 win for Tamera against La Fe.  The following day, Saturday 10 February, saw two more matches: Park Place vs Pilot and La Dolfina vs Dutta Corp.
