Blancett during his short career on the 101 Ranch Show, provided some exciting entertainment for the patrons. His leap to the head of the racing steer was successful but he did not stop the animal before it had leaped the netting that separated the crowd from the arena. In a cloud of dust, flying turf and scrambling spectators, the steer jumped back into the arena where Blancett threw him. At Bridgeport, Conn., he was injured while bulldogging and John Ray, Esteven Clemento, and Vester Pegg took over the task of wrestling the steers. Blancett returned to action after his shoulder mended and remained with the show until August when he left the rodeo circuit. "
