The Board of Directors of the Argentine Association of Polo revealed the latest handicap changes on Wednesday, December 7. The most important news is that Poroto Cambiaso has been raised to 10-goals, making him the youngest player in history to reach the top handicap. He was put up to 10 goals after winning the 129th Hurlingham Open and the 129th Argentine Open at Palermo with La Dolfina Saudi—the youngest player ever to earn such achievements.
Other remarkable raises relate to Tomás Panelo, Alejo Taranco and Juan Martín Zubía, who went from from 8 to 9; Joaquín Pittaluga and Pedro Zacharias, from 7 to 8; Cruz Heguy, Teodoro Lacau, Lucas Monteverde Jr, Benjamín Panelo, Carlos María Ulloa and Jared Zenni, from 6 to 7.
Meanwhile, the most significant lows are brothers Facundo and Nicolás Pieres, and their cousin, Polito Pieres, who went from 10 to 9; Santiago Loza, Ignacio Toccalino and Juan Martín Zavaleta, from 8 to 7; Diego Araya, Eduardo Novillo Astrada Jr. and Julio Novillo Astrada, from 7 to 6.
