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.
Have to agree with Invasor. The only blemish on his record was a 3rd in the Dubai Derby which was followed by 6 straight G1 wins..Pim Special, Suburban, Woodward, BCC, Donn, and DWC.
