I've always loved Easy Goer. I have that famous pic of Sunday and Easy in the stretch from the Preakness hanging in my office at work. It's logical that Sunday is ranked higher since he beat Easy 3 of 4 times. With the many points you bring up about why Easy could be considered the better horse, it does make for an interesting discussion if you toss out the 3 of 4 win logic.
For what it's worth....I adopted a little calico kitten during the week that Easy Goer passed away and decided to name her Easy in his honor. I never named a kitten Sunday.
