Apparently, David Zucker (of Airplane! and Police Academy!^W^W Police Squad! film-making fame) bought a race horse which he named "All Pink" and instructed the jockey to run the horse as close as possible to the inside rail. The intention was to cause the announcer to say some funny words:
> It was 1989 through 1993. Saratoga, NY, not Sarasota Fla. The goal was to get the track announcer to call out: "...and it's All Pink on the inside!" In fact, it took three horses over about four years. The first horse, "All Pink" ran on the inside, but never got the call. "Ol Pink" ran too close to the rail, and jumped it, ending up on the infield. Finally a mare, "Awl Pink" got the call in late '93. A $60,000 joke.
