The year was 1986. American actress Molly Ringwald had a huge number of adolescent females under 16 sighing over co-star Andrew McCarthy in the latest coming-of-age movie "Pretty in Pink".

Perhaps someone has been hankering for their lost youth over at the STC marketing department? This Saturday at Rosehill has been themed "Pretty in Pink Raceday" with all racegoers wearing pink given free entry. The first 1,000 ladies through the gates will receive a free piccolo of the newly released Omni Pink Sparkling wine and the first 500 men will receive a free pink lapel rose.

There'll be a fantastic racebook competition as well with entrants going in the draw to win a pair of stunning pink sapphire earrings from Rutherfords jewellers valued at $2,300.

Pink feather boas will also be sold at entry points for just $10 - which then gives you your pink attire to get in free for a fantastic day of racing!

Pink Lady, sponsors of the Pretty in Pink Raceday, will also be handing out Pink Lady apples during the day.

One could almost be mistaken for considering a passing off action when one looks to the Belmont race card for this Saturday as well. The Western Australian Turf Club will also be hosting a "Pink Lady Day" to coincide with the Belmont Oaks. Women are encouraged to "Dress up in your prettiest pink outfit and head to Belmont Park Racecourse." There will also be a Pink Lady Luncheon.
