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

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.

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.
