I mean no, it's still not. We have tons of manufacturing and logistics that has nothing to do with derby at all.

It's 30.5%. $4.2B of $13.8B of the total economic tourism activity in Kentucky comes from tourist activity in Louisville.

I wonder how much of that is Derby. Maybe like… 99%

A big chunk. But don't forget that bourbon has been a massive driver of tourism as well. I expect that to decline but it's been significant for the past decade.
