Congreve (horse)

Congreve (1924–1944) was an Argentine Thoroughbred racehorse and one of the most influential sires in South America.

[1] Winner of the Gran Premio Polla de Potrillos and Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini, he was considered one of the best racehorses of his generation, despite soundness issues after an injury at the age of three.

[4] Congreve was the leading sire in Argentine on seven occasions (1937, 1939-1941, 1943-1945), ranked twice second (1935, 1942), third once (1936), and seventh once (1938).

Congreve headed the Argentine broodmare sire list five times (1948, 1949, 1951-1953).

[1] Congreve is considered an Intermediate chef-de-race in the Roman-Miller dosage system.
