and from her most important daughter Ethel,
through their clones.” Charlie Armstrong for the purpose of playing
Sage’s clone, but with no success. My friend
and partner, Lucas Criado, suggested we visit
Charlie and he accepted. I think we hit it off from
the start. I proposed we rent Sage’s clones from
him and that we’d bring them to Argentina. I
suggested we offer them to Adolfito for him to
play. I proposed that we breed from them with
certain stallions and that we would share their
offspring and I would pay for all expenses.
“How did you manage to have the chance
of incorporating Sage´s clone, Show Me, to
Doña Sofía?” He asked a lot of questions… What I had done
all my life. He understood that I’d never cheated
on anyone.
“It was a very weird situation. I had been told
that several renowned polo players had visited And in the end he said: ‘Daniel, take them. I feel
I can trust you’.”
