Guillermo Gracida Jr.

Guillermo Gracida Jr., known as Memo, is a Mexican polo player born in Mexico City on 25 July 1956 into the first family of Mexican polo. He holds the records for the most U.S. Open victories, sixteen, and the most consecutive years as an American ten-goaler, twenty-one, which led to his selection as Player of the Centennial Era in 1990 and his induction into the National Polo Hall of Fame in 1997 while still playing. He first played internationally in the 1976 Camacho Cup, which he went on to captain Mexico to win four times, and he also won the Argentine Open in 1982, the Australian Open in 1990 and the Queen's Cup in 1986 and 1997. He breeds and trains polo ponies and hosts the La Herradura Classic in Pilar, Argentina.
