Top Rider Here

Postby TJ » Fri May 08, 2015 3:53 pm

Greg Blasi, Scott's older brother and CD's outrider extraordinaire, shows his prowess in the saddle collaring the loose horse, Yodel. Look at Greg's right leg out of the stirrup as he leans in on his left stirrup with all he's got to make the grab. Check out his helmet flying in the air.
Greg is married to Helen Pitts (Blasi) who trained Curlin to win his first start. We better give big time kudos to that amazing animal Greg's sittin' on as well!! TJ

WOW! What a photo - catches the intensity and drama of what you related happening in one snap. Kudos to Greg Blasi and his his horse for both their efforts!

Hi Jellac,
I would think that photo should win an award this year...amazing piece of horsemanship, Blasi gave a new meaning to the term Cowboy Up!! TJ

It's a great photo. Too bad his helmet wasn't strapped on!
