UNITED STATES ARENA HANDICAP
Tournament History
First played for in 1980, the United States Arena Handicap is a national tournament played at the 12-goal level and above. The tournament was formerly played as a subsidiary to the U.S. Open Arena Polo Championship® however it became a stand-alone tournament in 2017. Aspen Valley Polo Club in Carbondale, Colorado, will once again host the tournament for the fourth consecutive year. In the 2019 championship final, Casablanca upset two-time defending champion Flexjet to win the United States Arena Handicap. Casablanca will return this year to defend their title alongside returning competitor McClure River Ranch and newcomers Seminole Casino and Sopris Mt. Ranch.
Amongst the competition are Team USPA graduate Jared Zenni (McClure River Ranch) and alumni Grant Ganzi (Casablanca).
