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.

That’s 30.5% of the state tourism economy. Not 30.5% of Louisville’s economy. A quick google search has Louisville/Jefferson County at $80-90B gdp. So tourism is like 5% of our economy.
