I think the "classic" use of racy is to describe strong acidity, as in "Chablis from top crus are leaner and racier than American oak bombs" or "Blanc de Blancs Champagnes without malolactic tend toward a racy, aperitif style"... The connotation is that they don't just sit there on your palate but have some movement and zizz.
