Another Busy Week

Hello everyone, hope you all had a great week and weekend and report on happenings in the past week and coming up events.





SATURDAY 28TH MARCH


AMELIAS REASON - Again, very disappointing run. Lou is still pulling his hair out, the horse has been changed in several ways but doesn't seem to want to run on. Lou will be reporting to Syndicate Owners with his views and suggestions.

ALMOHAD - SECOND

The horse had a great run and very pleased with result for the upcoming Derby. Phenomenen will be the won to beat but Almohad will be cheered on by Peter, Annie, Tegan and the girls who will be in the front row cheering seats.

BLACK HABIT - 5TH The horse had a good run, not at the post, but looking for improvement in future races. Aiming for the V & V Walsh Day on the 18th in the Fillies & Mares race so that will be exciting being there to watch.



THIS WEEKS RACING


SYDNEY TUESDAY

DIVINE ANA - gutsy Filly went 2nd and 3rd in her first runs and has been stepped up to 1600m. Gaye believes the horse will perform better with a longer run. Good luck today.



EUROPA POINT

This horse has come from good breeding, is a half brother to King Canute, Gambei so will be exciting to see if the winning streak continues on. Has won its trial and has been nominated in three places at Moonee Valley, Morphetville and Cranbourne. Lee Friedman will look at all fields and select the best suited for this horse. Looking forward to this run. Peter and Brian Bradley will head off this weekend to watch the Debut of this Filly's career.



REPRISAL - Is gearing up for the Pt. Adelaide Guineas and hopefully heading for the South Australian Derby. Very excited with this horse.



AMELIAS LAD - Is a 90% goer for Saturday. Ran a gutsy previous race from last to finish 4th. A lot more to come from this well bred Lad.



HIFALUTIN - Should be running on the weekend but will let you know on Friday.



SYDNEY EASTER SALES - Coolmore has prepared this Rock of Gibraltar Colt for the Sales. With the current climate we have to be realistic but if not successful Peter will look at future racing.



AMELIA PARK

NIGHT UNDER THE STARS - Another winner for Peter. A great night was had under the stars, the weather held off (as usual for Peters nights) and the dancing certainly kept you warm. A huge heartfelt thankyou to Tony and his band LITTLE SISTER, what great entertainment they donated for the night. Adrian did a great job organising this which Peter very much appreciated. We recommend anyone looking for variety to keep them in mind for your next function. As is usual now, Peter was the last man standing. He said since his offsider Glenny has handed him the job of turning off all the lights (Glenny cant do the distance with Peter alot of the time - which I think is a good thing), Peter was still looking at the stars on the amphitheatre lawn long long after the show was over.
Glenny reported that all the Birds behaved beautifully at the Aviary as Glenny introduced them to guests on the night prior to the Band playing.



STABLES - The horses have had a lovely break in the paddocks over the last week or so. The Staff have been busy emptying the stables of used sand, have been sprayed and all new fresh sand spread. Within the next week all the stables will be full again and back into PreTraining - the holiday is over.



ANOTHER ACTIVITY AT AMELIA PARK
Full preparations are underway for the installation of a GOLF DRIVING RANGE at the Farm. This will be yet another feather in Peters cap for his ongoing dream. It will get to the stage that we will have to fit work in after the Golf, Tennis, Day Spa etc.


I hope everyone has a great week and will give an update of Racing on Friday.


Regards
Shelley
