What is the official drink for the Breeder's Cup and what do i need to wear?

I know for the Derby its the famous Mint Julep but i'm not gonna be able to make it to the derby next year. I just turned 21 and for my birthday my parents got me tickets to the Breeder's Cup on November 6-7th since i'm a fan of horse racing. Does the BC even have an official alcoholic beverage? I also need some tips on what to wear i've never been to a big fancy horse race before. Thanks!

The Official drink for the Breeders Cup is called "Down The Stretch". It is made with Grey Goose Vodka. This per info from the Breeders Cup office.
The Breeders Cup will be held at Santa Anita this year, so I would imagine the weather will be fairly mild. Since I have been to the Breeders Cup on several occasions, I can tell you that most everyone that is not directly involved with any connections, wear jeans and comfortable shoes. It is a very long day, and you want to be comfortable. Wearing hats are not normally seen unless it is a baseball cap. Have a great time.

the bc is not a fancy horse race. most people will be wearing shorts, or jeans, and tee shirts.

i know guinness has a beer tent. that is the best you are going to do there.

No official drink, just wear shorts and a tank top, thats what all the girls wear here in California.
