\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCaroline Anier, originally from the Palace of Versailles, is recognized as one of the world\u2019s best female polo players. Currently holding a 4-goal outdoor rating, Anier has led her coed team to major victories, including the Governor\u2019s Cup; a competition that takes place in the Palm Springs winter season. When Anier is not on the field, she can be found raising and training horses, as well as teaching Polo to young students of the game. Caroline Anier teamed up with Polo legend Sunny Hale to compete on the Molina Fine Jewelers Women\u2019s World All Star Team at the Polo Championships in 2014. Although they left without the victory, Anier was a part of one of the most talented all-Women\u2019s teams in the sport of Polo during the year.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArellano is the highest goal player to ever grace the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships. Beginning his career at just 9-years-old, Julio Arellano has taken the Polo world by storm. Arellano began experiencing his success on the field when he was just 16 years old, and starting traveling to places such as Mexico, Brazil, Berlin, Argentina, and Canada, which are all part of an extensive list. Winning over 25 tournament championships, including the renowned U.S. Open 4 times, Arellano has also added the High Scorer in NAPL 2006, High Scorer in Sunshine Leagues, and the U.S. Open MVP to his vast arsenal of awards. Arellano presently holds a 9-goal handicap, which he hopes to transform into the illustrious 10-goal handicap within the coming years of his impressive career. He also received a Bachelor\u2019s in International Business from Florida Atlantic University, and now resides in Wellington, Florida with his wife and three children. Participating in the Polo Championships in 2014 and becoming the #1 polo player in the country that same year, Arellano\u2019s accomplishments brought the highest level of competition and professionalism to the Championships.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThere is no question that Tommy Biddle Jr. is a powerhouse on the polo field. With an intimidating and dominating stature of 6\u20193\u201d and 230 pounds, Biddle is nearly unmatched by anyone else in the sport. Biddle is a major asset to the Polo field, as he is one of only four players in history to obtain a 10-goal rating in arena polo; a level that many polo elitists strive to reach. During his successful time at the Polo Championships in 2012, Biddle exported his authoritative and aggressive attitude bringing more excitement to the field. He was one of the first two professionals to ever play in the event, enriching the event with his stature and \u2018big-hitting\u2019 that will not be forgotten by the crowd.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

He currently holds a 3-goal handicap in both indoor and outdoor polo, and he continues to be a major influence on the sport today. Camacho can be seen teaching and training in his spare time, as well as, rescuing and providing rehabilitation to Off the Track Thoroughbred Horses so they can step onto the field once again. By displaying passion, talent, and a colorful personality, Camacho has left an undeniable and permanent mark on the event since its inception.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

He has been playing polo since 2003 and has played in the U.S. Arena Open, the National Delegates Cup, the National Sherman Memorial, the Copa De Las Americas and in many countries and three continents. Since the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships\u2019 inception, Dan has played every year and won four consecutive times. But Dan is more than just a great polo player, as he is one of the founders of Being The Change \u2013 a non-profit organization that gives children the unique opportunity to learn how to care for horses and play the game of polo. He continues to play on Polo Azteca as the President, and is also the owner of the Pie Town Polo Club in New Mexico. Last, but not certainly not least, Dan serves the national community on the Board of Governors for the United States Polo Association.

There has been no better ambassador for the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships than the Captain of the Wales Polo Team. Ricky brings focus and fierce competition to the field. Cooper\u2019s extensive leadership skills helped him lead his team to the final of the British Beach Polo Championships and the Glanusk International. Cooper was a major influence in starting the Wales Polo Association, which has proved to be a huge success. Cooper can be found competing in half and full marathons, and is a former Great Britain Ice\/ Roller Hockey representative of numerous World and European Championships. As the 2-time defending champions in Scottsdale, Cooper and the Centtrip Wales Polo Team always bring a level of class and competitiveness to the Championships. And when it comes to spreading the word about \u201cthe world\u2019s most interesting polo event,\u201d Cooper is in a Hall of Fame class all his own.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

He currently holds a 1 goal handicap and won the 2015 Don King Days tournament, one of the country\u2019s most sought-after polo trophies in Sheridan, WY. But he doesn\u2019t just love working with animals on the field \u2013 Diego is the owner and operator of the Aztec Animal Hospital and a practicing veterinarian there.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCo-owner of the Aspen Valley Polo Club and winner of dozens of polo championships herself, Melissa Ganzi and her husband Marc, are some of the most prominent names in American polo. Although her love for horses began as a child, Melissa wasn\u2019t introduced to the sport until the year 2000, leading her to be the first woman to win the USPA Monty Waterbury Cup the following year, and the first woman to compete in the St. Moritz World Polo Championship last year (and again in January of this year). She was also the first woman to win the 2016 World Snow Polo Championships in Aspen for her Flexjet team this past December. In addition to being a businesswoman, record-holder, champion, and mother, Melissa is actively involved with various associations of the sport. Among her numerous titles includes president and fundraiser of the Museum of Polo and Hall of Fame Board of Directors, USPA Florida Circuit Governor, and secretary of the Polo Training Foundation. Melissa first played in Scottsdale in 2015, helping The Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships reach new heights, leading her Aspen Valley team to a win over Wales. In 2016 she again led Aspen Valley to a win in The Molina Cup, this time over Palm Beach. Without the generosity and enthusiasm of Melissa, The Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships would not be one of the world\u2019s most interesting polo events.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrom impacting a sport dominated by men, to being the first woman in history to win the U.S. Open, Sunny Hale is rightfully considered the best female polo player in the United States. Hale was the only woman on the field during the victory in 2000 at the U.S. Open, and has earned the Woman Polo Player of the Year Award a record 7 times. Additional honors include a handicap of 5-goals, which is the highest handicap that a woman has ever received, and being inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 2012. Tacking onto her wide range of accomplishments, Hale has been featured on ESPNW, Sports Illustrated and the New York Times. Earning captain of the Volvo of Phoenix Women\u2019s All-Star team in 2013 and the Molina Fine Jeweler\u2019s Women\u2019s World All-Star Steam in 2014, her extraordinary list of accomplishments has brought additional diversity and excitement to the Scottsdale event.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJeff Hall is the all-American story. Raised in Santa Barbara, CA and Houston, TX, Hall began riding horses at just four years old in Indio, CA where his father John Hall, an enthusiastic polo sponsor instilled a passion for the sport. By the time Jeff was seven he had already decided what he wanted for his future. His dream of becoming a professional polo player became a reality at 12 years old and he hasn\u2019t looked back since. Hall has won almost every high-goal trophy in U.S. polo including the most prestigious, the U.S. Open. Currently holding a 7-goal handicap, Jeff is one of the best players in the world, and one of just a few highly rated American players. Hall played in the 2013 Scottsdale Polo Championships.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In addition to working alongside her husband Craig as Brand Manager of Barrett-Jackson, The World\u2019s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, she also is an extraordinarily generous leader in the Arizona charitable world. Carolyn recently launched a bold yearlong charitable initiative, Driven Hearts, in an effort to empower her community to take a stand against heart disease. This imaginative idea was the result of Carolyn\u2019s volunteer work. As the Chairwoman of the 2018 Phoenix Heart Ball, she is also a powerhouse behind Barrett-Jackson\u2019s astounding charitable efforts\u2014which have raised some $100 million to date for causes that benefit veterans, children, and medical research initiatives alike.

Besides setting an example for all associated with the event, she was also a driving force behind the establishment of \u201cPrime: A Luxury Tent Experience by Steak 44, Neiman Marcus & Barrett-Jackson\u201d that debuted in 2017.
