Made more money finishing 2nd than winning.Best driver ever to go 1st over on a half mile track.If you had the lead and he was alongside you,unfortunately you were toast.Got in trouble and i saw him on tv being taken away in handcuffs.Lost i think close to 5 years and Dover and Pocono are the only tracks he's allowed to drive at i think.His brother Henri was just a notch lower but also tremendous.Then there was Renald who drove up at Bluebonnets in Canada,Rheo who was banned from every track except Freehold and Gilles who drove up in Saratoga.

Were these guys the Hanson brothers of harness racing?
I forgot Yves Filion also.Unlike the Hanson brothers all the Filions were accomplished in their line of work.
