Blind -2:13 pm - Deep's initial line took him right of the brush. He got his first whistle from handler Al Arthur to move him left down the hill. Two more came on the flat of the field that carried him to the slot. It took two more whistles to get Deep through the slot and the last whistle was to get his bird.
