Kentucky, like most U.S. states, has endured a devastating year for its tourism industry and created unprecedented challenges for all hospitality-related businesses. Unlike many other states, however, Kentucky will not have a chance to recover from the pandemic losses due to the tourism industry being left out of the recent federal relief bill.
The American Rescue Plan released more than $1 billion dollars to the state of Kentucky. Kentucky’s tourism industry knew relief would be on the way when the plan included this statement: “To respond to the public health emergency of COVID-19 or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel and hospitality.”

We went to Churchill Downs during Spring Break that year and to the Kentucky Derby Museum on the grounds of the historic old track.
I d never given much thought to the Kentucky Derby until I saw all the champions in the museum and then I wanted to know much more.

So it was then that I began listing the names of all the previous Derby winners and kept it up until I just sort of drifted away from it in the early 90s. To be honest, I grew more and more discouraged the further away we got from having an actual Triple Crown winner; remember, we went 37 years between Affirmed in 1978 and American Pharaoh in 2015.
