On horseback, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are the toast of Wellington

Reality TV stars Kourtney and  Khloe Kardashian took in the sights and sounds of polo Sunday afternoon in Wellington, and Page2Live’s got the exclusive pictures! The sisters, with Kourtney’s baby daddy Scott Disick and their spawn in tow, materialized at International Polo Club Palm Beach to watch the sports of kings, but also to film an episode of the season 2 of their show, E!’s Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. Sipping champagne and riding with hunky Wellington polo star Nic Roldan, the sisters seemed to enjoy their afternoon. The TV show’s new season kicks off in June. Click here, or on the photo, for more on the Kardashians’ afternoon.

They picked a fine time to visit!

Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, who are in South Florida to film season 2 of Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, will tape an episode in Wellington Sunday afternoon.

At the International Polo Club Palm Beach.

Yes, John Goodman’s place.

For some reason, the company producing the Kardashians show for E! is trying to keep the whole polo trip hush-hush. And Shamin Abas, the club’s spokeswoman, declined comment.

But the cast and crew are expected at the club’s brunch and afternoon match.

John Goodman crash victim’s family “pleased” with probe, but Goodman was “reckless”

The family of fresh college graduate Scott Wilson, who was killed Feb. 12 when his car was broadsided in rural Wellington by International Polo Club Palm Beach boss John Goodman, is “very pleased” with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office’s investigation into the accident.

This, despite the facts that no finding has been released a month after the incident, or that Goodman hasn’t been charged, according to one of the Wilsons’ attorneys.

Goodman survived with minor injuries, and authorities are considering criminal charges. Goodman, 46, was at two parties before the accident, and was accused by his ex-wife last year of being a cocaine abuser.

“Scott’s parents understand that this is a high-profile situation and that everyone involved is trying to dot the ‘i’s and cross the ‘t’s,” said West Palm Beach attorney Scott Smith, who represents Wilson’s dad, William. “The family doesn’t want anyone to make a mistake on this.”

When asked about a recent Page2Live scoop about the fact that Palm Beach County Fire Rescue firefighters and paramedics failed to find Wilson, who drowned strapped in his seat in the upside down car submerged in a canal, Smith said the family wants to allow the agency to investigate its response to the crash.

Attorneys representing the mother of a recent college graduate who died after his car was struck by Wellington polo mogul John Goodman’s Bentley are launching their own investigation into the crash that killed her son.

Jack Scarola, a partner at the high-profile West Palm Beach law firm Searcy, Denney, Scarola, Barnhart and Shipley, said the firm is starting from scratch its own probe into the death of Scott Wilson, 23.

International Polo Club Palm Beach founder Goodman suffered minor injuries in the Feb. 12 accident. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and State Attorney are conducting a criminal investigation. They’re not expected to decide before May whether charges will be filed against Goodman.

Said Scarola: “We will independently and thoroughly investigate. It’s highly unlikely that there’ll be a single lead that we won’t follow.”

Scarola said the firm has been representing Wilson’ mom Lili in other matters. He said the firm’s involvement “could include civil action arising from the death.”

Goodman visited two parties before the crash, and authorities seized credit card receipts showing Goodman paid for 18 shots of booze less than an hour before he allegedly blew through a stop sign and struck Wilson. And Page2Live revealed Monday that fire rescue workers failed to find Wilson’s body in his car, which was partly submerged in a canal after the Bentley hit it.
