PINK OUT!

If you are planning to attend the Kentucky Oaks, you should know in advance that you can wear any color as long as it’s PINK!
The adopted color of the Kentucky Oaks is PINK in honor of the Oaks official flower, the stargazer lily, and the official color of breast cancer awareness is PINK.  To connect the Oaks with its partner charities, Susan G. Komen for the Cure ® and Horses and Hope, Churchill Downs is asking you to THINK PINK when it comes to your attire for Kentucky Oaks 137!
Bravo!!
