It's borderline a crime that Congaree's name hasn't been mentioned after 50 posts in this thread.
He overcame a ton of health issues - six weeks after breaking his maiden he toyed with Monarchos in a very swift Wood Memorial win - followed that up with a 3rd place finish in the Ky Derby where he ran a miracle mile and still ran a 109 Beyer despite hitting the wall in the final furlongs.
He was amazing for a one year stretch as an older horse.
