Gaurav Sahgal on his father Rajesh Sahgal
My father and I share a great relationship. We have shared some great times on the polo field as well. It’s all thanks to him and his passion for the animal and sport that today I am associated with it. Fortunately for the both of us we share a common respect and admiration for the animal above all else ,may it be Polo ,breeding and even racing too. I have always received never ending support from him in all walks of life which I’m very grateful for. Ever since I can remember dad has maintained a crisp string of polo ponies which I’ve always had access to ,which perhaps accelerated and made possible my improvement as a player. Eternally grateful to him.

Timmy talks about his father Tim Dutta
My father has always been a huge influence in my life. He has been a mentor in business and in life and in polo as well. Ever since I started playing polo he has always been an influence to me. From teaching me about the sport to managing horses. He has always been there for me. Without him I would not be where I am. He has always been my biggest supporter and he is the first one to tell me when I mess up. I am very lucky to be able to share such a wonderful sport with my father. We are very excited for the future and what is going to come.
