His victory over Sun King that you mentioned came before the BC. If you read my post, you'll see that I said he was dominant after the BC (that is what "subsequent" means). Perhaps "dominance" was not the best choice of words, but I do consider his post-BC performances to be extremely impressive in that he overcame an outrageously bad trip in the Donn, and then ran a very fast race in the DWC.
Congaree was certainly a very good horse who flashed brilliance at times in his career. He also threw in his share of clunkers. On a list of this nature,the consistency of a horse like Invasor puts him ahead of a horse like Congaree in my book.
