Ya Think?
 

Ya Think is entered in the 6th race at Belmont on Wednesday. His last race was a 5F turf race at Phili Park where he ran 9th of 10 at odds of 6:5. Here is his running line.....


9th by 4 3/4......9th by 7 3/4.......9th by 10........( finish ) 9th by 9.


The chart comment is " useful effort. " What would a poor effort have been?

Especially for a 6/5 favorite - the full chart comment was classic "never threatened in a useful effort"

sounds like the comment from Scavs date on Friday night.

"outrun" would be the usual comment....

I know. I went to the chart to see if it was a misprint. I wish I could get the Phili replays to see if something happened.

I know you dont follow Tampa closely but the chart caller down there is brutal with the comments

Some of the Tampa chart favorites for this situation:

"Failed to menace"
"Outrun"
"Showed little"
"Never a threat"
"No factor"

Some interest late. Not enough.

how about, "All out, not up in time" :D

"Drew away. Finished under hand urging."

I'm sorry, that was wrong...

"Impeded and checked repeatedly"

"Blocked. Found hole too late."

It's like rain on your wedding day.

"no response early, pulled up, vanned off"

Whipped repeatedly, never responded

"a bit washy, stopped badly"

"Unruly at start. Never menaced."

"Florent Geroux rode"

"Hit gate, bled"

Confronted by rival. Lacked needed response.
