The fifth annual Audi Polo Awards, the ‘Oscars of Polo’ were run again in glittering fashion at the Hilton Park Lane, on Monday 17th May 2010.

An evening that allows the most outstanding individuals, teams, patrons and ponies to be acknowledged formally in front of their peers was conducted in front of some 370 guests.

The evening celebrated all that is great and good in polo with the guest list reading like the 'Who's Who' of world polo. It was acknowledged by the Master In Charge of Ceremonies Hamish McLachlan that there were in fact nine current or past 10 Goalers, seven 8 Goalers and some seven 7 Goalers in attendance.

The evenings presentations were interspersed with staggering performances of skill and strength from The English Gents and Bath Boy, acrobatic performers currently playing at La Clique in Paris. As well as another highly amusing set from Audi Awards regular, Rory Bremner.

Prior to the Julius Baer Victor Ludorum winners being announced, Julius Baer made a tribute to all the professional polo players in the room with a moving video showcasing the highs and lows of the life of a professional player.

The Julius Baer Victor Ludorum winners for 2009 were:
8 Goal: AFB
