not sure the real reason Randall - firstly it is tradition and they try not to change things even though a weekend would allow a lot more people to enjoy it. Like for example, I took a half day off work to watch the racing.
It may also descend from old times when only Lords went racing and sure the days of the week didnt really matter to them, they could go racing whenever they wanted and keeping the good racing mid week would keep all the lower classes from attending.
