Remington Park and the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Racing Association challenged horse owners, jockeys and racing fans to trade in regular race day attire for pink shirts, hats and even silks during the 4th annual The Betting on a Cure "Pink Out"  Benefitting two Oklahoma nonprofit organizations that help families across the state fight cancer and other life-threatening diseases, the annual fundraiser will kick off at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 26th with live racing beginning at 6:00pm.

Hosted by the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Racing Association, the event will feature live racing, a silent and live auction, and other activities all geared toward raising awareness and funds for Rein in Cancer and Children’s Hospital Foundation.

“An unbelievable number of Remington Park employees, horse owners and trainers experience the challenges that cancer and other life-threatening diseases present each year,” said Wells. “Whether a person is enduring treatment firsthand or watching helplessly as a loved one fights for her life, we count each of these people as heroes. They truly are our inspiration for this event, and it is an honor to have generous patrons who come together to raise such a significant amount of money in one afternoon.”

“There is so much hope now for fighting breast cancer. In early 2010, I was diagnosed with a very rare type of breast cancer and was in the middle stages of my cancer treatment program around this time last year. I was fortunate enough to attend Tough Enough to Wear Pink and I am even more fortunate this year to attend the event cancer free.”

Additionally, park patrons will be able to purchase special pink event T-shirts, wristbands and pins as well as to make monetary donations and bid on special items during the live auction. Featuring a Weekend in Ft. Worth Basket (hotel, concert tickets at Billy Bob’s {concert of your choice} and dinner and Dinner at Coopers BBQ), Meat Basket from Coopers BBQ (Mail Order), Thunder Basketball signed by players in a glass display box, Serge Ibaka's Shoes that were worn in a Thunder Game, Remington Park Private Suite Package for 20 guests, Designer Sofa Pillow Set, also have Jewelry, Equine Items, Magazine Subscriptions, Beauty Items and certificates, Golf Packages and much more, the live auction begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Eclipse Room.
