Is Zenyatta/Blame Better than Easy Goer/Sunday Silence BC?

I think the 2010 breeders cup classic is the best breeders cup race ever run. But I would like to her some opinions from people older than me.

I would go put Easy Goer / Sunday Silence 2nd and then Tiznow/Giants Causeway 3rd

Apples to oranges! Arguably, two of the best 3-year-olds EVER, compared to one of the best mares ever...and, Blame.

If you are talking about their respective fields:

Fly Down
Lookin At Lucky
Paddy O Prado
Etched
Musket Man
First Dude
Pleasant Prince
Espor City
Haynesfield
Quality Road

compared to :
Blushing John
Present Value
Cryptoclearance
Slew City Slew
Western Playboy
Mi Selecto

I'd say Cryptoclearance was better than any of the 2010 field.

I gotta say, the '89 Classic still gives me chills (I was 10 when I watched it on TV). I've probably re-watched it 100 times. The only other race that does that to me is the '73 Belmont.

The 1985 Classic at Aqueduct with Proud Truth / Gate Dancer was not too shabby also...
