Robert Barr Smith played in the first recorded polo game in Adelaide in 1878. Since then, the Abbott and Barr Smith family have had a longstanding connection to Australian polo. In 1985, Charles Abbott, as the president of the Victorian and Australian Polo Councils, hosted royals Lady Diana and the now, King Charles in Werribee.
The Barr Smith and Abbott family connection to polo is rich and this tournament aims to build on that tradition. Many games have been played at Mount William Station; however, the current grounds were re-established in 2006 but Mount William Charolais owner and professional polo player, Robert Abbott.
