Got Pink?

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 136!

Participate in our second Kentucky Oaks PINK OUT on Friday, April 30, by incorporating PINK into your attire for the day at the races. Churchill Downs staged its first Oaks PINK OUT in 2009 with impressive results.  From hats to handkerchiefs, suits to sundresses, sunglasses to stilettos, our Oaks guests were “tickled pink” to show their support for the Oaks and the important cause it supports.

Check out the latest videos to help you prepare for the Oaks 136 PINK OUT as well as images from last year's event to get you in the mood.!
