Ever experienced some frustration at the airport? Even a Belmont Stakes champion has to deal with delayed flights.

According to David Grening of Daily Racing Form, a non-mechanical-related issue moved a Monday flight to Tuesday. Along with Tiz the Law, the flight brought Money Moves and Ny Traffic.

No worries, though; Tiz the Law has arrived.

Now comes the difficult part.

Al Cimaglia of Xpressbet noted post 17 hasn't produced a winner in 39 tries, and those horses finished in the money only 7.69 percent of the time. Tiz the Law will actually enter stall 18 because the field doesn't have 20 horses, but the point remains.

Fortunately for Tiz the Law and jockey Manny Franco, it's not necessarily a problematic draw.

"The way he's run this year, he likes to be outside horses a bit," Sackatoga Stable managing partner Jack Knowlton said, per Evan Hammonds of BloodHorse. "... Manny has a lot of faith in him. He breaks from the gate quickly."

Unfortunately for fans, though, arguably the primary challenger to Tiz the Law is no longer slated to run.

In a press release, the Kentucky Derby said Art Collector would not enter the race. Tommy Drury, the horse's trainer, said Art Collector "nicked the bulb on his left heel" while galloping. Because of medication rules, per the release, the horse couldn't be treated with an anti-inflammatory this close to the race.

"Getting to the derby any other way would be nothing more than my ego taking over. We can't allow that to happen," Drury said, according to Jennie Rees of the Kentucky HBPA.

Art Collector will instead look forward to the 2020 Preakness Stakes, which is scheduled for Oct. 3.

However, there was a last-second entrant.

Marty McGee of Daily Racing Form reported South Bend joined the 18-horse field shortly before the draw. The rider will be Tyler Gaffalione, who took War of Will to a victory at the 2019 Preakness Stakes. South Bend will break from post No. 8.

Saturday's post time is approximately 6:50 p.m. ET.
