(July 2, 2019, 9:58 am)The history of Long Island polo is indeed a fascinating one. It began in 1879 when several members of the Meadowbrook (original spelling was Meadow Brook ) Polo Club including Thomas Hitchcock, Sr., Oliver W. Bird, August Belmont and Benjamin Nicoll started to play the game in the infield of the racetrack of the Mineola Fair Grounds.
The Club was formerly incorporated in 1881 and the first “official” polo field was built in 1884. From these somewhat simple origins Meadowbrook in time emerged not only as the doyen of Long Island polo clubs but also the citadel of international polo.
Clearly, the most important national event was the annual Open which was held at Meadowbrook from 1923 until 1953. Powerhouse teams such as Meadowbrook, Great Neck, the Hurricanes, Templeton, Greentree and Old West bury thundered across the fields with such legendary riders as Tommy Hitchcock, Michael Phipps, Stewart Iglehart, Laddie Sanford, J. Watson Webb, Devereux Milburn and Winston Guest.
