Noosa Twilight Polo presented by Reed & Co. Estate Agents will be staged for the first time in the heart of Noosa at Rococo AFL Grounds on Saturday 5 October, delivering five hours of polo action from 3pm and featuring Australian and International polo legend John ‘Ruki’ Baillieu.

Ruki has played polo with King Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry and James and Kerry Packer.

Starting out his polo journey at the age of four under the guidance of this father Antony Baillieu, Ruki reached the pinnacle of the sport, playing across the globe with numerous wins in some of the world’s biggest tournaments including the “Prince of Wales Polo Tournament” at the prestigious Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club.

Ruki has won this tournament numerous times, even winning it with King Charles.

Ruki is one of only three Australian polo players to both be given a handicap of eight goals and to have played in the Argentina Open, a tournament reserved for only the titans of polo due to its speed and brutality and recognition of its winners as champions of the sport.

After two successful Polo & Provedores events this year’s Twilight Polo will include entertainment on and off the field.

RAW ORDIO will perform their legendary electronic beats to get people up dancing. At the heart of RAW ORDIO, the enigmatic DJ/producer, Brett Gadenne, with Andy V on sax and keys, and the untamed fire energy of Damian Campbell on percussion, the trio will leave even the most seasoned connoisseurs awestruck.

Event guests are encouraged to dress to impress for Noosa’s chic sporting experience with IN Noosa, Fashions on the Field a major highlight of the day.

There will also be polo traditional favourites, the Divot Stomp, and the Kid’s, Ladies and Gentlemen’s Dash.

The Hobby Horse Stakes will return and was such a hit last year guests are encouraged to register.
