You need only to look at pictures ... Affirmed was tallish and racy, Secretariat taller and more musclebound ... Actual measurements can be deceiving ... Alydar looked bigger than Affirmed and they were not technically much different in size ... During the TC series I do not think Affirmed reached 16 hands quite yet ... But I am reasonably sure that Reeves, who painted both horses, did not say that Affirmed weighed more or had a bigger heart girth .....
