Default 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"

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.

Some of the Tampa chart favorites for this situation:

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