Overall, just 34 per cent of the 2,000 polled by betting site freebets.com said they went for the racing and betting, with 25 per cent enjoying the drinking culture and 12 per cent enjoying getting dressed up.
Only ten per cent said they liked seeing horses racing.
Freebets spokesman Tim Agnew said: “There is a lot going on at race meetings.
“As well as gambling and drinking people are often dressed to impress and it’s easy to see how passions get the better of fans.”
