It has nothing to do with racing.

Getting dressed up has nothing to do with racings popularity either.

Everyone loves getting drunk in a fun atmosphere --- be it all dressed up or in a high school keg party/spring break type atmosphere like the Preakness infield.

How many of those people get converted into competent bettors or serious racing fans? The tracks need to find a way to figure out how to do that.
