Only Fly in the ointment is if UK plays in Indy that day. That may diminish the crowd a bit. Bad weather may as well. Used to attend that day and had some nice days, ok days, and awful days. In 2007, I think it was 38 degrees and snowing. As a fan of The Ashland, I wish they would have moved that up to Friday. Having said all that, I hope the BlueGrass regains it's once prominent Derby Prep Position.

I noticed its Easter weekend which might affect numbers. I'll probably be going again this year but might be disowned by my family in the process

Easter has been a part of BlueGrass Day many times, so I don't think that helps or hinders. The BlueGrass has gained a lot in attendance though. I remember when it was on Thursday, 9 days before the Derby and you'd get 15,000 or so. Now it's 40+k. It should be interesting.
