Thomas Hitchcock Jr.

Thomas Hitchcock Jr. celebrated his 16th year by winning both the U.S. Junior and Senior Polo Championships. He represented his country in international competition on eight occasions, winning the Westchester Cup against England at age 21. At the height of his polo career, a writer for Polo Magazine said, “There never can be a question about the amazing performance of Mr. Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., in this series of 1927. No one who has not seen a ten-goal player play fifteen-goal polo can imagine the stark power of this youth.”

That he was one of the very finest 10-goal polo players of all time is beyond doubt, and he has left a great legacy for polo players everywhere.
