Perfect Weather

Hi Everyone, what a fantastic weekend of near perfect weather here, hope all enjoyed it, as well as the racing.

F I R S T
VICTORIA - MOONEE VALLEY
EUROPA POINT - DEBUT
What a fantastic debut for this horse. Peter was thrilled with his first win here, he even had a bet which is very unusual but he got the late mail from Lee Friedman who said the horse was ready for this one. They believe it has a good future ahead.

ASCOT
AMELIAS LAD - Ran a great race to come home 2nd. he is a 50/50 chance to go into the Sires race. He is still is a bit immature but will develop into a great 3yr old and over in the future.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA
REPRISAL - ran an encouraging race for the lead up to the Derby, the Trainer believes this horse has a lot more to give yet.

CAULFIELD
HIFALUTIN - 4TH
Had a good race for this field and is showing encouraging signs as the season continues.

SYDNEY SALES
Peter enjoyed his quick trip over east with Brian Bradley and was more than pleased with the sale of the Rock of Gibraltar colt, who had a swollen knee at the sales, nothing serious and stood tall to catch a buyers eye at the Reserve Price of $180,000, in this climate was an acceptable price. Peter wishes the new Owners the best of luck, who had also bought Special Harmony previously.

THIS WEEK
AMELIAS REASON
Will hopefully get a start, the horse should be good for a place bet in this race.

WA DERBY SATURDAY
ALMOHAD - Peter is looking forward to taking his family to Ascot to watch this horse give its best, Phenomenons will be very hard to beat but hopefully Almohad will give it a good shot.

AMELIA PARK
The holiday is certainly over, the staff will this week complete the stable upgrade and all the stables will be full of horses raring to go.
All the landscaping at the Cellar is forging ahead, the work on the day spa is progressing, and basically all is good at Amelia Park.

EASTER
I have told the staff there will be an Easter Egg hunt on Sunday but haven't restricted it to any one area so that should keep them busy for the day, only 300 odd acres to scour. They all said they were sorry but busy on that day, Peter said he may not get back in time (I think on purpose). Happy Egg Hunting.
All the animals and birds are also included.


PETER SENDS HIS VERY BEST TO EVERYONE OVER THE EASTER PERIOD, BE SAFE & HAPPY, AND MOST OF ALL - ENJOY THE RACING.

Regards to all and hope you get lots of eggs.

Shelley
