Polo Highlight: I became a professional at the age of 15. That same year (1998) I reached the U.S. Open final with Sheik Abdus Qureshi’s Escue team. I played with Pite and Sebastian Merlos, and Sugar Erskine, and we beat Isla Carroll 13-10. It was one of the very few occasions that Carlos and Memo Gracida failed to win the trophy playing together so that was a proud victory.
