News for the Week

Welcome all,



Horse Racing Results

Saturday

Amelias Reason - No Spark. There will be a change in routine to see if the staff can get this horse some new spark and get back on track.

Almohad - ran an encouraging race to finish 4th, will need to continue improving to raise stake money to get a start in the Derby.

Sunday

Outside Influence - ran a solid 3rd, will hopefully keep paying his way in upcoming race outings.

Black Habit - Came home with a 3rd and would like a few more encouraging runs before spelling and will return for the winter campaign.



This Week - Toledo Express should be running, I will report on Friday but keep an eye as should give a good run.



Adelaide Horse Sales

Peter did sell at the Sales, the market is down at the moment but got as best result as estimated.



Amelia Park

Darley Stud - New South Wales - the Managers will be in WA this week and have asked Peter for a tour of Amelia Park. Peter of course will wine and dine them in is customary entertaining way.

Under the Stars on the 28th - Peter has kindly invited clients and Syndicate Members to a night of entertainment. All those coming please pack your picnic basket, chair and esky to what I am sure will be a night to remember.



Flora & Fauna

Our dams are proving a sanctuary for the south west ducks. At this time of the year the water courses are drying up and we have many types, including mountain, mane and black ducks to name a few frequenting our dams.

A beautiful pair of Herons have taken up residence in the Aviary lake and are a lovely addition to the Park.

SCARLET MACAW - what an exciting day yesterday. Glenn introduced Juanita , our new baby Macaw to her residence at the Aviary. She will be a partner for our young male Pedro and Glenn is beaming as this now makes the Aviary complete, until of course Peter asks Glenn for some new blood on the block.

Celebration of our new Macaw was made by Peter inviting some of the residents to the new Cellar last night where we were treated to some of his finest Reds (lost count how many bottles), French Champagne (lost count) and fine cigars (lost count). Needless to say we had a fabulous night, the Cellar has been furnished inside and we sat in candle lit surrounds toasting Juanita, Peter and basically everyone that was there on the night.

Overall a pretty quiet week coming up for the horses but hope all readers have a good one and will talk next week.

Regards
Shelley
