Yes he is large.
Its just he looked like he
had a submarine girth.
His lungs must be begging to
break out of his chest.

I guess its a matter of what he ran
against. Do they have any big slow horses
over there? The computer must enhance
size as Z said.

He has always been huge.

Lawyer Ron is about 16.1 hands, and Curlin swallowed him up in the JCGC. Lawyer Ron also has an enormous stride.

Rags to Riches is about 16.2-16.3, and one of the most muscular fillies you will ever see. They are about the same size height wise and as far as length of stride goes (judging from the Belmont Stakes), but Curlin is still more muscular than her.

I saw him in all those races.
He was muscular and big.
But he know seems to have a giant
girth. Not fat. Just lungs. I wonder how
much more he weighs...?

He does...here let me show you a video of him with pictures...he has an ENORMOUS heart girth.

At 3:52, who does he remind you of with all that muscling and huge heart girth?

also hard to judge when he's ahead of the rest of the field. the one that stood out to me was kelly's landing, remember they had to adjust the gate to get his butt in there?
