A racegoer is someone who goes to horse-race meetings, often as a habit — not a person who went once out of curiosity. Newspapers use it for the crowd: people who dress up for a big day, follow the horses, and like the noise and the hats. It is mainly a British word. Though actually the goer half only means “someone who goes”; it says nothing about whether they bet, own a horse, or know a lot. You would not call the rider or the runner a racegoer; that person is in the race, not in the crowd.
