Hilario Ulloa is a former 10-goal player currently rated 9-goal for the 2026 season in Argentina. Born November 22, 1985, Ulloa achieved the maximum handicap in 2017 and has won the Argentine Open, Hurlingham Open, and Tortugas Open across a career spent at the highest levels of the sport. He is known for his partnership with his brother Carlos Maria Ulloa, with whom he plays at La Hache.
Ulloa’s game is built on power hitting, particularly his nearside back shots that have been among the longest in Argentine polo. His ability to clear the ball from defensive positions and create instant attacking transitions makes him a difficult opponent for any team. The 2017 season, when he was elevated to 10-goal, represented the peak of his individual recognition, but his contribution to competitive teams has remained consistent even as the rating adjusted to 9.
For the 2026 Argentine Triple Crown, Ulloa captains La Hache at a 34-goal total handicap alongside his brother Carlos Maria (8-goal), Benjamin Panelo (8-goal), and Tomas Panelo (9-goal). The team competes in the Hurlingham Open at the Hurlingham Club, the Tortugas Open at Tortugas Country Club, and the Argentine Open at the Campo Argentino de Polo in Buenos Aires. Playing alongside his brother mirrors the sibling partnerships seen in other top teams, such as the Castagnola brothers at La Natividad and the Pieres brothers at Ellerstina.
At 40 years old in 2026, Ulloa brings experience and durability to La Hache. The team’s 34-goal total places them 6 goals below La Natividad La Dolfina’s maximum 40, which means Ulloa and his teammates must be tactically precise and defensively disciplined to compete against the sport’s strongest lineups. His record of major titles proves he is capable of winning at any level, and the family partnership with Carlos Maria gives La Hache a core understanding that bought chemistry cannot replicate.
