Well, actually, I would try just running the binaries, first; it may well be that 10.11 doesn’t require the manual deletion of the quarantine flags.
You can also try using a right-click and choosing “open” from the menu; this clears the quarantine flag in many cases. If it does turn out to be necessary, the command is xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <name-of-binary> … IIRC. You’ll probably need to run this on (at least) two targets: the DrRacket.app directory, and the racket binary in the bin/ directory.
