    WINNER TAKES ALLPolo player Hilario BY MICHELE MEYER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DIEGO CAPPELLA Even while practicing alone, Hilario Ulloa performs the same fearless, focused Ulloa’s competitive moves that make him the Michael Jordan of the equine set. He’s ranked among the world’s top 10 polo players, and his confidence in the saddle hints at a history nature and equestrian steeped in horses. 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. For those who know him best, it’s his drive to win field and in the stable that most sets the 34-year-old apart from his competitors. “Hilario’s very intense,” says fellow Argentine 10-goaler Guillermo “Sapo” Ca- set, who’s played with—and against—Ulloa since age 12. “He has to win, even if it’s PlayStation or ping-pong. He’s really, really competitive.” That tenacious pursuit earned Ulloa a 10-goal rank, the highest possible, in the U.S., his native Argentina, and England at age 30. He was only 24 when he became a 9-goaler. He’s played in Wellington for the past nine years, racking up triumphs such as the 2018 U.S. Polo Open Championship. 88 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | JANUARY 2020 89 Ulloa stables 25 horses in the U.S., 12 to 14 in England, and more than 100 in Argentina.
