Was Dube actually a good driver at one time?
He sure fucked up a lot of races the last 2 nights at the Meadowlands

You're super with history!

My least favorite subject in high school was history. When I was a senior I needed 2 credits to graduate, the only elective left was Modern European History. It was so boring that I cut class alot or fell asleep in class but still passed.

Half my class cutting was drugs-alcohol-girls the other half included the last 3 and horses! ngc3
Amazingly I had an educational scholarship to college...dropped out, could not major in horses, drugs, alcohol, chicks and they take cutting seriously... ngc3
-
Absolutely. Very talented. A lot of ability. Never fully reached his potential in my mind, and I take nothing away from him, regardless, he has had a very strong, solid career.
-
Dube recruited Gingras to come to Yonkers from Montreal when Danny made the fulltime move to the Meadowlands.. set him up with all his clients and the rest is history.. Dube is an excellent person who remembers where he came from.
-
Dube is one of the best people in the industry and he just got his 10000th victory. Congrats! Dube was very good in his prime.
-
Maybe Dube saved his money. Ther are a lot of drivers that are very good drivers but the horses they are driving aren.t the best in the race and finish up the track.
-
Dube is possibly the nicest person in the business
-
What a spectacular person.....drove for me alot in New York.....kind heart
-
I believe Dube is better suited for half mile racing. When he raced at the Meadowlands I felt he was a good step below the top drivers.
-
Always liked him and kind of root for him...until Yannick returned recently to driving at Yonkers more Dube is the only one of their driver colony who is a holdover from the pre-casino days.
-
I like him.
-
A great driver and even better person
-
He’s all of the above . Nice guy , was a good driver , is divorced now . And like all of us Father Time caught him early and is a low B driver now . Last year he did 2.4 million this year maybe 2 million obviously he’s not making any money as a driver any longer . He enjoys his small band of home breds he owns and trains . Next year probably will be lucky to do a million . Fringe player at best .

I remember him on the NY circuit for awhile. He used to like to shoot them off the gate for the lead.

This is i would post about him and i know he drove Gallo but some of the worst drivers drove great horses, i never looked at him like he was anything but average but he was good for racing as he added pace to a race
-
Like I said earlier he’s a 5% driver now . Was never dominant ever in the states . He’s had a fabulous career considering his talent is average . He is a good guy other than that .

Years ago at the Meadowlands he had a horse he asked me if I could feed him for him s o I did it was just before Christmas he told me he is going home to Quebec for 10 days as well as feed he wanted me to jog his horse in all this time he never gave me a dime I told him to find someone else he never did offer any thing.

So you just took it for granted he'd pay you without making it clear how much before he left? That makes YOU a fucking idiot. Did you ever ask him or just complain like a twat on Horseplop about it? ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3 ngc3
As for Dube. Not the best tactically and can't hold one, but he does have live hands and horses seem to go forward for him.
-
Dan came to Garden State with three other guys. Yves Corbin was his translator. He knew a little english. Very nice guys. You’d be hard pressed to find someone to say anything negative about them.
-
When he first came down here to Yonkers a lot of the drivers were taking 3 or 4 thousand out of the windows every night. Meadowlands opened up they had to go there because of the handle. It's easier to lose a race than win one a top driver told me that. They were a lot of drivers that made more money than Herve but he won over 15000 races. Look at the drivers that retired in their early fifties and lived like kings after that.

If he was so wonderful like you think he would just give something feed his horse for a month or so and does not offer you five cents wonderful guy.
-
He’s historically cheap fits his personality and profile . Never pays for lunch or a dinner expects everything on the cuff

Wow from 10 days to a month in less than 24 hours. If you are going to make shit up at least remember your lie
