Vivid Pink

The first win came at Huntingdon in November 2025, and the most recent followed at Market Rasen just this week — so Vivid Pink arrives at the races with hot form and a freshness that will not be lost on anyone watching closely. Winning 2 of the last 6 races is a meaningful run of results at this level, and the timing of that Market Rasen success, essentially on the eve of whatever comes next, is about as encouraging a sign as you can ask for.

Normal ground conditions are clearly where Vivid Pink thrives — 2 wins from 8 races on a standard surface works out to 25%, or roughly 1 in every 4. That is a genuinely solid number, and it tells you that when the ground is fair, this horse is competitive. Alan King's yard at Wroughton has sent out 57 winners already this season, which gives you a sense of the operation behind the horse — this is not a small stable hoping for the odd result, this is a yard that knows how to get horses ready to win.

The one puzzle in the file is the partnership with Tom Cannon. Seven races together and no wins is a curious statistic, particularly given the horse has been winning in that same period. It does not mean the relationship is broken — plenty of successful combinations go through blank patches — but it is the kind of detail a curious racegoer might quietly file away. Vivid Pink has shown it can win. The question of whether it can do so with Cannon aboard remains open.

Most of the action has come at Class 5 level, which sits near the bottom of the racing pyramid, and 1 win from 8 races there — roughly 1 in 8 — suggests the horse is not necessarily dominating at that tier. But the recent form says otherwise. Right now, Vivid Pink looks like a horse that has found its moment.
