What does " deeper " mean?

The simple fact is the race was barely faster than a NW1X that was won by one horse with real trouble and the second finisher moved VERY prematurely. I don't care what the names of the competitors are. I care how the race was run....and that was slowly and unimpressively.

If you analyze races before they are run, which is what someone who thinks a race is a good one because of the names of the contestants does, you will get yourself in a lot of trouble in the future.

Sorry, but the vast majority of races that result in blanket finishes are suspect. It is very rare that a bunch of horses ran particularly well.
