With his mallet behind his back, he leans far off his steed—at 40 miles per hour, no less. Somehow, he knows where the ball is and slams it home. prowess impress on the “I was practically born on horseback,” says Ulloa, offering a nonplussed expla- nation for his super-human skills.

He was only 24 when he became a 9-goaler.
