WELCOME

Hello and welcome to another week of news.

AMELIAS REASON
Poor Lou's head, with all the scratching that's been done recently, he has decided to give both himself and the horse a break. Amelias Reason will be sent home to Amelia Park and hopefully have a resurgence for the next campaign. We are sure there are more wins to come.

TOTAL MAROONED
Was beaten in a better class in this race but pulled up well so Lou will look to starting the horse in a few more races in the following weeks.

SINGAPORE
Peter reported that JABAL TARIK - out of Marooned Lady, won on Saturday in record time and hopefully will be a starter in the Singapore Derby. Looks like another trip to Singapore soon - I thought I would suggest that Peter takes me too so he doesn't have to worry with my shopping list!

ALEVANTA
Gaye Waterhouse reported that this horse will trial again after coming 2nd in its first trial and is looking good for future races. Keep an eye on this horse. Peter has also just acquired a filly with Gaye so he is looking forward to her future.

AMELIA PARK
The horses that are currently in work will be returned to Lou in preparation for their campaigns.
Lou will be visiting the farm and looking forward to his expertise and company for a day or two.

Brood Mares - An exciting time as the Stallion Season approaches. Brian Bradley has been using his expertise in picking out suitable Stallions.

DISAPPOINTMENT
Peter was looking forward to entertaining Rob Wiley & Geoff Marsh at the Cellar tonight with a good steak and numerous Reds. Unfortunately they were in contact with someone who has tested positive with Swine Flu so they have to keep indoors for 3 days. All the best to Rob & Geoff and the Reds will wait.

All else is good at Amelia Park, green everywhere you look, the horses are in their element, the only downfall with winter is the amount of dropped leaves - EVERYWHERE, lots of raking to keep us busy.

Until next week

regards
