deep and good aren't necessarily the same thing. you had classic win/place horses in there, that's where they got the deep from. and yes, it's true, the race today drew a lot of the better horses this year compared to past haskells. doesn't mean it's a better crop tho. lookin at lucky won-someone had to. doesn't mean he's very, very good. or even very good. slow time, yet another slow time to add to all the other slow times this year.
