Cup

LEESBURG, Va., April 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Benefiting the Journey for
the Cure Foundation, the Land Rover America's Polo Cup once again celebrates
the athletic ability, power and stamina that defines one of the oldest team
sports in the world, as United States and Italy face off on Saturday, May 10,
2008 at historic Morven Park in Leesburg, Virginia. VIP tickets, box seats and
other specialty ticketing are on sale now at www.americaspolocup.com.

This year's Land Rover America's Polo Cup combines the alluring and seductive
worlds of wine, fashion, cuisine, and music, as top polo players from the U.S.
and Italy excite the crowds while proving their skills. Galloping ponies fluid
in their execution, running at top speeds - the players themselves showcasing
the sixth sense necessary to anticipate their opponents' next move. Due to the
incredible speeds of the horses, the element of danger requiring the horsemen
to be exact will once again excite the spectators at the Land Rover America's
Polo Cup.

Land Rover North America's Washington D.C. area retailers are the title
sponsor of the 2008 America's Polo Cup. The brand offers a modern line-up of
powerful and award-winning luxury vehicles. The sport of polo reflects that
same sense of adventure and extraordinary ability both on and off-road, making
America's Polo Cup and Land Rover a well-suited match.

"With Land Rover as our title sponsor, America's Polo Cup is striving for a
more competitive challenge on the field," said Tareq Salahi, Land Rover
America's Polo Cup founder and chairman. "With something to amuse people of
all ages, no one should miss this annual event that will continue to rise to
new heights each year."

The weekend kicks off at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 9 with the U.S. vs. Italy
Culinary Competition, Virginia Wine Competition & International Fashion Show
titled "Rockin the Runway." Models will enter in Land Rover chauffeured
vehicles, and then strut down the catwalk dazzling the crowds with fashions
from top Italian and American designers, taking the competition to the next
level. Leading chefs from both countries - including Chef Enzo of the
acclaimed Washington D.C. restaurant, D' Acqua - will compete in the culinary
challenge. Live music and dancing will follow. Tickets are required for the
event.

The Polo matches begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 10 when the returning U.S.
team and the challenging Italian team hit the field. Directly following the
polo match, Huey Lewis & the News will rock the stage during a live concert. A
spectacular half-time show will feature the U.S. Coast Guard helicopters and a
ceremonial divot stomp, complete with live music by Virginia's famous "No
Speed Limit."
