I am one that usually enjoys him, even when he gets overly dramatic.

The Tiznow wins it for America line was great, and will always give me chills.

But I admire Tiznow even more than Durkin for that day. Still can't believe when I see that replay how he comes back to win after clearly getting passed by Sahkee. Great display of talent guts and heart.
