Talandracas closed out the 2024 Barriere Deauville Polo Cup with a historic victory in The Coupe d’Or on Sunday 25 August, at Deauville International Polo Club in Normandy, France. Talandracas defeated the titleholders, Télédou-Barriere, with a 14-7 win, marking their seventh Coupe d’Or title – tying the record held by Alex Ebeid. The match was dominated by Talandracas from the start. They surged to a 5-0 lead in the first chukka and extended it to 6-2 in the second, with Juan Martín Zubía leading the charge. Zubía, who scored a total of 11 goals in the match, was instrumental in maintaining their lead. Despite efforts by Télédou-Barriere, led by Juan Gris Zavaleta, to close the gap, Talandracas maintained control throughout the five chukkas. The final chukka saw Talandracas outscore their opponents 4-2, securing the decisive victory. This win caps off a strong season for Talandracas and Édouard Carmignac, who also lifted The Cartier Queen’s Cup in June and reached the Semi Finals of The British Open Championship for The Cowdray Gold Cup. Zubia not only celebrated this first Coupe d’Or title but was also recognised as the Most Valuable Player, while Isabelle Larenaudie was the Amateur Most Valuable Player. Emezeta Cocinera, owned and played by Zubía, was the Best Playing Pony and Chicho La Pelada, played by Rufino Bensadon, was the Best Polo Argentino Bred Pony.
