The Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, by far. According to Wikipedia, crowds at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May can reach "up to 165,000" when the 52,000-capacity grandstand is combined with the luxury boxes and infield standing-room-only crowds. No one knows exactly how many seats are in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway grandstand, but they know it's well over 250,000 and today they'll all be full. That doesn't count the infield, which is larger at Indy (a 2-1/2 mile track) than at Churchill Downs (a 1-1/8 mile track). It's conceivable that 300,000 people will attend the Indianapolis 500. I also think a lot more people will watch it on television--Indy's a couple hours from flag to flag, while the Derby is two whole minutes long.

Attendance Indy 500 vs 400 Brickyard?
The attendance was close for several years, but in recent years the Indy 500 has begun to pull away from the Allstate 400 in attendance figures. The Indy 500 continues to be close to a sellout crowd each year, while the Allstate 400 has begun to show sizeable gaps. There will never be fully accurate numbers though, as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway refuses to publize their attendance numbers.
