(ph David Lominska, Polographics.com) Brant, Aguerre 30 Year Story By Frederic Roy White Birch teammates Peter Brant and Mariano Aguerre have achieved something probably very unique in the history of the game, they have played and won at the top level for the past 30 years together in every decade over a span of 4 decades, 80 s through today. It started back in 1986 when 17 year old Mariano Aguerre arrived in Greenwich, brought in by the late Hector Barrantes. Mariano was at the beginning of his superb career as a polo player, Peter Brant was already a seasoned player having led his White Birch team to great tournament wins in Palm Beach, Greenwich and Saratoga. Peter won his first USPA Gold Cup, then the Rolex Gold Cup in 1983 at Palm Beach Polo, winning with the three Pieres Brothers, Gonzalo, Alfonso and Paul, Hector Barrantes managing the team. He would get two more in 1984 (with Alex Farrell, Gonzalo and Alfonso) and 1986 (Dana Fortugno, Alfonso and Gonzalo Pieres, and Juan Bollini) and finally his first Major tournament with Mariano Aguerre, the same Rolex Gold Cup also with Please turn to page 6

But already Mariano s handicap had jumped up so White Birch won the Gold in 1988 with Mark Egloff taking Mariano s #1 spot, and again in 1989 with Todd Offen at #1, Mariano Aguerre at #2, Gonzalo and Peter. When Gonzalo Pieres joined Ellerston in the early 90 s, Mariano Aguerre became the leader of the team. Asked about the transition back then, Peter Brant said: It took a little time to do it, but we did pretty well there for kind of 3/4 years in a row when I was playing in Florida. We won the Gold Cup three years in a row ( ), won the US Open (05). I had a conversation in September 14 with Peter Brant, fresh from his four wins in the Spring/Summer Season in Greenwich. Yes, we were very successful this season, Peter said, I had a really good team [with Matias Sosa, Hilario Ulloa and Mariano Aguerre], everybody played well, it was good. On putting together successful teams, Peter had this to say: What we try to do is balance the team, to have a strong balance, and sometimes we kind of stayed away, except in Palm Beach, with two very high goal players in the center, but now it s possible with a goal team playing at Bridgehampton or Greenwich to find a player playing #1 that is low goal. It works well when you have two really great players, but normally if one of them is weaker you would be better off with a more balanced team of having a sort of 6 in the middle with Mariano and have a 3 forward. [White Birch was successful in Summers at Bridgehampton with Jeff Blake and Nacho Figueras in the #2 position.] Great Horses has really been the trademark of White Birch. We asked Peter Brant about providing horses for the team and what has changed over the years if anything? Yes, it s true, we do do that, but I think today it s changed in a sense that all the players have very good horses because they all pretty much are mounting themselves. In the old days when I began playing, and for many years, an Argentinian player would say: Ok, I ll come and play with you, you have to buy 6 horses from me, and they would basically send two really good horses and four donkeys. That s basically the way they did it, they would give two good horses and the balance would be in very inexpensive horses so they would be able to keep some of the money as their salaries. So today, what a lot of them are doing is offering their talent as a polo player plus the fact that they are mounted well, because they all want to improve their handicap, and they all want to stay very high, and the best way for them to do that is really to develop their own horses, and keep their own horses, that way they ll keep their handicap for longer periods of time. Q. How was Ulloa mounted the Summer of 14? He rode some of our horses, but he had some of his own. He rode some of the horses that we mount Mariano with, Mariano has got more than 6 horses, we generally do that, but we don t keep as many horses up as we used to. We used to have in the 90 s many, many horses, but I just found that the players concentrate on mounting themselves, bring them up and keep them in really good condition, so what we do now is get a player that has some horses and then we supplement where they are weak with some of ours. Q. How do you pick the horses? What we try to do is: a horses comes up for sale or a horse is bred by us down there by Mariano, and then what happens is we decide who the player would be that most suit the horse, because one of the problems in polo is that people try to buy horses but they don t understand there are certain horses suited for positions. What might be great for a back might be terrible for a one, and one that might be great for a back might be terrible for a three. It s a certain kind of horse that makes a player, in other words you should have different types of horses on the team that have different skills. A big horse that bumps well, rides off well, and checks very well is the kind of horse you want for a back. A horse that is very bold, that runs in front and moves laterally nicely is what you want for a one. #3 needs a horse that s got everything, power, handy. For the #2 you need a horse that can go the distance, go up and down the field at speed. Q. How do you attribute the longevity and success of your playing with Mariano all these years, now 30 years? Well, we are both obviously competitive, we want to win, we try our hardest all the time. [Mariano] is a player that is very conscientious, he is a family guy, he works at it regularly, he prepares for the game well, you know I appreciate that. He is very direct, honest and straight forward. He is like a son, he really is a wonderful person and I know his family, of course, he is married to Gonzalo [Pieres] s daughter whom I have known since she was 5 or 6 years old, Tati. I used to play with Gonzalo, so it s really family. Gonzalo in his time was the greatest player in the world, and we all certainly learned a lot from him, and the horseman at the time was Hector Barrantes, and me being involved with racing, I understood the horse side very clearly. I was not just coming out playing polo. Involved with the thoroughbred business for many years before I came to play polo, I understood the importance of the horsemanship and the quality of the horses. Ending the conversation, Peter Brant talked about the serious hip problem he had in 13, the worry of not being able to play anymore, but back in shape looking forward to this 16 Season.
