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.

Congaree was 3rd. Invisible Ink was 2nd.
