Good luck

Didn't run his race. One thing I don't understand is this - According to jockey Chris Emigh, aboard 8-5 favorite Hogy in the one-mile test, multiple circumstances combined to put his mount at a disadvantage.

"He lost his tongue tie going to the gate; that didn't help," Emigh said. "Then he got into a pinch where he was trapped between horses on the outside; he doesn't like that. He likes to have a clear run on the outside, but he got squeezed out there, I had to check a little, and it was all over."

So (2) races before they held up the race for 10 minutes while the horse got his shoe fixed. Why wouldn't he say something about the tongue tie?
Couldn't they have fixed that?
