USPA’S MAN ON A MISSION
Carlucho Arellano
“I want to bring more prestige to our tournaments by having more prize money and getting more publicity and exposure,” Carlucho Arellano said. “I really want to lift the quality of the sport.” Another area of the sport that shows strong promise is with women’s polo. “Women’s polo is exploding,” Arellano said. “We have several great female polo players in the U.S.” Arellano also noted that the USPA is updating and modernizing many of its instructional and educational videos, which people watch to learn about the sport. At the top of the sport, Arellano
wants to make the great events even better. “I want to bring more prestige to our tournaments by having more prize money and getting more publicity and exposure,” Arellano said. “I really want to lift the quality of the sport.” The three big events which he intends to make bigger are the C.V. Whitney Cup, the Gold Cup and the
U.S. Open. All three events are contested in Wellington. The C.V. Whitney runs from Feb. 16 until early March, the Gold Cup takes place throughout most of March and the U.S. Open is held in April and concludes on April 21 to culminate the season. The USPA is a sponsor of the new Gauntlet of Polo program that highlights these three tournaments by providing additional prize money.
