Lucas Monteverde

The ranch is run by his father Lucas, and uncle Marcelo Monteverde, one of the world's most successful coaches.

Monteverde has played polo since a very early age and turned professional with a 5-goal handicap travelling to Europe.

Today, Monteverde, has grown into one of the world's finest defensive players, is well known for his outstanding work rate and horsemanship on the field.

Monteverde's first Grand Slam win was at the 2005 Veuve Clicquot Cowdray Park Gold Cup, where he was called in as a late substitute for the injured Adolfo Cambiaso.

With such a huge hole to fill, Monteverde led the team to victory with teammate Piki Alberdi over Black Bears.
