Ghantoot claimed victory over hosts Habtoor Polo in an exciting final at the Bentley Emirates Gold Cup polo tournament on Friday March 14, 2014 at the Dubai Polo and Equestrian Club. It came down to the wire with Ghantoot inching ahead to win 7-5 against the hosts. It marked the team’s second win in two years. Ghantoot was also the winner of the McLaren Silver Cup.
