You really have to wonder what is wrong with these people. Horse racing has always created disagreement among its followers. This is a good thing. It's not personal, how could it be, but with Zenyatta somehow her followers have turned it into a good versus evil debate. It's sad.

I agree with you regarding Shulman's comments. He ignored the aspect that as a handicapper, you are trying to beat Zenyatta. Particularly given her popularity at the windows. I disagree with one thing however and that the good versus evil debate is so one-sided. Unfortunately there are folks on both sides of this that appear to have a vendetta of sorts.

I am a huge fan of Z but am not looking to run everyone down that expresses disagreement. It is an important part of the game.
