Rufino Bensadon pairs with Benjamin Panelo as one half of an 8-and-8 professional duo at Clinova The Sandbox. In high-goal polo, having two 8-goal players on the same roster creates the kind of versatility that makes a team dangerous — one can lead the attack while the other controls the midfield, and they can swap roles chukker to chukker.
At Clinova The Sandbox, Bensadon and Panelo are joined by Jared Zenni at 6 goals and patrons Arsalan Karim and Arthur Madrid. The professionals carry the scoring burden, and Bensadon’s 8-goal handicap means he’ll be expected to deliver in the decisive moments of each match.
The U.S. Open at the USPA National Polo Center is where reputations are built. Bensadon has the rating to compete with anyone in the draw.
