Sea Pink was definitely at Foxhams from 1905, (when purchased she was nine years old), until 1908 at the very least, when she would have been twelve years old.
It is likely she was only, ‘halter broken’, for the, ‘shows’ but was kept at Foxhams thereafter as Reve d’Or, (sire of Couleur de Rose) and John O’Dreams, (sire of King Cup), were Miss Collier’s own
stallions.
