Judges critique:
Instone's DALE GUDBRAND'S C- GEILO ZALA AT STAUBACH (imp Nor). Very interesting one this and his foreign ancestry has brought to us a lovely strong fellow to grace the ring. Looks every bit a cart-puller with his decent breadth of chest and wonderful bone, lovely strong working qualities. Coming to maturity at almost 4, such a pity the cheeky yet kindly lad still appeared to need some ring training, putting his head down and spoiling his move a bit. Strong headpiece with lovely flat skull, today scored over 1st in that department as more finished. Whilst he had a well presented jacket he needed a little more fill-in to the rear of his under carriage, showing a bit too much daylight there to fully complete the picture. Tended to stand a wee bit out at one elbow, never mind, nothing weedy about this well-meaning lad and there really was a fair bit to like about him.
