'he' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'goes riding after the ball' is the wordplay.
'goes riding' becomes 'player' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the ball' becomes 'polo' (polo ball is a kind of ball).
'player' put after 'polo' is 'POLO PLAYER'.
