PURSUING SECOND CAREER AS A POLO PONY
After purchasing Pink October as a yearling at auction in August 2009, trainer Bret Calhoun remarked, "that athlete is ready to have a saddle on her back and be ridden out of here today." This filly was a tactical purchase added to the RCR Stable with intentions of using her early birthday, pedigree for sprint speed, and athletic frame to target some of the two-year-old opportunities she was eligible for in Texas and Louisiana.

Pink October proved to be an athletic, durable, hard-trying filly. As expected, she debuted in one of the first two-year-old races of the year in April, finishing second after assuming a four-length lead until caught by surprise at the wire. She proved to be a sprint specialist, much like her sire. After several competitive races in Texas and Louisiana, we shipped her to Charles Town in WV where she could capitalize on 4.5 furlong sprint races and, as expected, she broke her maiden second time out. Pink raced sixteen times for her owners as a two and three-year-old. She recorded one win, three seconds, five third-place finishes.

Pink October was sold in May of 2011 and given an opportunity to pursue a career as a polo pony. Her durability and sprinting speed along with a sound mind should position her to do well.
