FORAFEWDOLLARSMORE

DOLLAR commenced training beginning of February and has already had to endure some snow conditions….his schedule has to date been limited to some exercise around the roads near home. Similar to many other parts of the country the weather has been harsh on the wonderfully scenic North Coast of Ireland.  However, very soon Walter will be taking him to his favourite haunt at the Downhill, Portrush when hopefully the conditions will have improved and become more placid….

28th FEBRUARY 2014 : DOLLAR is already looking good and in fine fettle……Watch this space for more updates before racing starts for real – like the recent stormy weather with gale force winds his performances during the forthcoming season are set once again to ‘ blow you all away !! ‘ 

22nd MARCH 2014 : Hardly a month has elapsed and DOLLAR is continuing to make marked progress… it looks extremely promising that he will surpass and outdo even previous achievements in the Season that lies ahead…. all these fantastic images were captured by Carmel at the Downhill earlier today….

26th MAY 2014 : Another fine day to further DOLLAR’S training at the Downhill – It is in relative close proximity to Coleraine and easily accessible from his home which is within easy reach and virtually only a stone’s throw from  the outskirts of the Town Centre….

OCTOBER 2014 : DOLLAR in the days leading up to his last race – and he looks in fine fettle ! ……

5th OCTOBER : Another sterling performance to round off a glowing career and Walter celebrates in style….See more under ‘AS A 9 YEAR OLD’…..
