Congreve sired six Argentine Derby winners: Ix (1935), Quemaita (1937), Embrujo (1939), La Mission (1940), Avestruz (1943) and Churrinche (1944). The 1951 winner, Yatasto, was two generations removed from Congreve.[2] During his stud career he sired over 600 winners in Argentina with winnings of over 5,567,992 pesos.[1]
