The yard behind him is well worth knowing about. Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore train out of Milnathort in Perth and Kinross, and this has been a productive season for them — 47 winners sent out already, which is the kind of output that marks a genuinely busy, successful operation. Dollar Collar is one piece of a large and active puzzle.
His regular partner in the saddle is Patrick Wadge, who has ridden him in 6 of his 13 races and has one win to show for it — that is roughly 1 in 6 together, which mirrors the horse's overall profile pretty closely. The pair seem to understand each other, even if they haven't turned that familiarity into regular winners just yet.
What stands out in Dollar Collar's recent form is the gap between his last two wins. His first career win came at Hexham in March 2024, and his second — the most recent — came at Kelso in April 2025, a full twelve months later. That is a long wait between victories, and his last six runs tell the story of a horse who goes missing for a while and then finds his moment: two blanks, a sixth, a third showing he was getting warm, another sixth, then that win. It is a stop-start pattern, but the wins are real, and the third place in there suggests he is rarely far from the action when things fall his way.
He raced 26 days ago, so he is current and ticking over. Whether another win is coming soon is the question — but for a horse with his record, patient supporters will know that patience, eventually, tends to be rewarded.
