At the La Picaza breeding farm in the province of Córdoba, Adolfo Cambiaso once again wrote an unprecedented chapter in the history of polo. There, a full chukker was played using exclusively clones of Cuartetera, the most influential mare in modern polo, in a scene that clearly reflects the impact of biotechnology on the sport.

The protagonists, lined up from left to right, were clones 18, 33, 19, 21, 17, 27, 22, and 23. All of them share the same DNA as that legendary mare who revolutionized high-goal competition and who today, thanks to scientific advances, extends and multiplies her legacy on the field.

The connection between Cambiaso and cloning began in 2006, when he decided to preserve cells from Aiken Cura with an eye on the future. Four years later, in 2010, he officially introduced the first clones of Cuartetera. In 2013 came another milestone: for the first time, the Argentine star played an official match riding clones, confirming that the technique was viable at the highest level.
Over time, La Picaza became the epicenter of this innovation, now crowned by a full chukker of clones that symbolizes the fusion of tradition and science.

The impact of cloning on polo has been profound. On one hand, it allows the preservation of exceptional genetics beyond a horse’s natural limits. On the other, it makes it possible for a single elite bloodline to be expressed through multiple high-performance horses. In this context, Argentina has established itself as a global leader in the application of cloning to high-goal polo.

What took place at La Picaza goes far beyond a scientific demonstration. It is a concrete example of how Argentine polo successfully combines history, innovation, and excellence. Cuartetera is no longer just one: her talent is replicated, multiplied, and continues to leave its mark—now in plural.
