13-10 victory against Scone

After a two week delay due to poor weather, The 60th Jockey Club Open Final took place on Wednesday 2 October at the Jockey Club Open in San Isidro between Pilot and Scone. Both teams have on the title in the past, Pilot in 2019 and Scone in both 2022 and 2023.

Scone fought back in the third chukka and gradually closed the gap, cutting the deficit to just two goals (7-9) in the fifth, with Benjamin Panelo – standing in for Poroto Cambiaso – leading the charge. But Pilot’s early dominance proved decisive, as they held firm to claim a 13-10 victory and secure their second title. It also marked Curtis Pilot’s second Jockey Club Open win, the third for Jeta Castagnola, and the fourth for both Facundo Pieres and Barto Castagnola.
