About
Best Cupcake is a 5yo colt from the United States trained by Michael E. Lauer. He is by Oscar Performance out of Hey There Cupcake. To date he has captured three victories, including a standout performance on 7 July 2024 at Horseshoe Indianapolis where he won the $100,000 Hcp. The horse has been a solid value for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 19% return on investment.
