Congaree was within range of an extremely fast pace, made a 5 wide move to take over the lead outside the 1/4 pole, completely buried the other pacesetters and stalkers (including Point Given) then grudgingly gave way for second.
Bodemeister ran an excellent race today. Congaree's Derby was better.
Congaree was a GI winner at 7,8,9, and 10 furlongs and the only other horse in the 21st century to do that is Ghostzapper. While he had issues with being consistent, he was an immensely talented racehorse. To say that after five races Bodemeister is better is very silly.
