Sport of kings and kids
FORMER Royal Children's Hospital patient Hamish is jumping for joy at the chance to see real polo this weekend. Hamish, 8, and other children from the hospital will be out in force for Emerald Cup play at Albert Park today and tomorrow, from 10am-6pm.They will watch polo up close, with six teams battling it out on a spectator-friendly mini-field for the Viva RCH fundraiser.
Polo is usually played on a 4ha field, but the smaller Albert Park field will enable fans to see all the action.
The two celebrity teams will feature TV host Suzie Wilks, fashionista Katie Davenport, model Saskia Noomen and actor Kate Kendall. Tickets are still available.
The traditional stomping of the divots will be a feature on both days when an emerald stone worth $5000 can be won.
Energetic types can kick off their shoes for the women's champagne dash sprint or the men's beer run sprint.

How can you 'stomp' the divots - surely they would not have wanted horse poo trapsed back through the public domain?? Plus I thought the general public were to be kept away from the Horses which would include poo you would think??
