Boyd Rices great turnback gelding, 13 year old Deltas Colour or "Paint" was killed in an traffic accident heading home from Abilene yesterday. Paint earned his stripes as a dual threat in the show pen both as a cutter and a cowhorse before being "retired" to turnback duty. 6th place in the 2002 NRCHA Open Snafflebit Futurity, Oklahoma Early Bird Cutting Futurity Champion etc and $57,797 earned combined. He did pave the way for a great number of cutters on their way to fame and championships buckles as a turnback horse, and he will be missed.
