There is an official Breeders Cup cupcake

Why, I don't know. But you can download the official recipe here, where they write:

The sweetest two days in racing just got sweeter. Presenting the official Breeders' Cupcake. A winning bit of 24-carat chocolatey bourbon goodness that will leave you tempted to...well...eat like a horse.

For the baking challenged, Breeders' Cupcakes will be available at certain Breeders' Cup events and at Cake Flour, the local Louisville bakery behind this creation. One dollar from every cupcake sold will benefit the Robby Albarado Foundation to help the Louisville community's homeless and disadvantaged.

From Handicappers Edge:

The Breeders' Cup announced Thursday its very own sweet treat: the Breeders' Cupcake, created exclusively by Cake Flour, a Louisville, Kentucky, natural and organic bakery. The Breeders' Cupcake is a combination of chocolate cake with a bourbon and caramel swirl, then topped with purple buttercream icing and adorned with gold flakes and a gold leaf, representing the official colors of Breeders' Cup.

"We wanted to create a fun and delicious treat for the Breeders' Cup and are thrilled with what Cake Flour has created," said Peter Rotondo, vice president of Media and Entertainment for Breeders' Cup. "We're also excited to give back to the Louisville community by donating $1 from every Breeders' Cupcake sold to our partner, the Robby Albarado Foundation."

The Breeders' Cupcake will be unveiled on Tuesday at Cake Flour bakery. Professional jockey Robby Albarado will attend the kick-off event which will take place at 9 a.m. (EDT).

Cupcakes may be purchased individually for $3.75 or by the dozen for $40. One dollar from each cupcake sold will be donated to the Robby Albarado Foundation; the Breeders' Cup will make a matching donation connected to the sales of the cupcakes.
