racegoers
Crowd at Derby
Racegoers are people who attend horse races or other racing events.
The term is more common in British English, where horse racing has deep cultural roots: The racegoers filled the grandstands at Ascot.
It implies spectators rather than participants—those who come to watch, bet, and socialize.
