[Danzig]

from crown jewels, i have here where mr reeves says about affirmed 'he developed into one of the more attractive stallions i have painted. his neck arched and became a little fuller. his body proportions were a little heavier and more picturesque than as a racehorse...'

sadly, no measurements given in the paragraph about the painting above it. but it doesn't sound from that description that when affirmed was racing that he was particularly large.
