Aldeb is leggy but fine bodied. you guys should have seen the Monsters in the 2nd race!
#3-eye of taurus (aldebaran) was good size BUT #5-royal ballade (darley) was a Monster! and the #6-false impression was close in size.

in the 5th race (ours) the winner #2B-gemswick park was big and close in size to the #5 & #6 in the second race. #9-amber's edge was as tall as Aldeb but was thicker bodied.

FYI... Gemswich Park received a 91 Beyer Speed Figure in the race.. y comparison, Grande Ballade in the 2nd got a 65.
