QUIET ON THE HOMEFRONT

Hello again, July is one of those months, both weather wise and horse wise - wet and quiet!

BLACK HABIT
Should be running this week and Peter is looking forward to a good result after coming third in its 1st up run. Show us what you can do Black Habit.

TRIALLING
A busy week for Lou with PRINCESS AMELIA, DESTROID and CASTLE BLITZ which after their hopefully successful trials this week will put them on their way for positive results in their campaigns.

BELLS AWAY
Is also trialling this week and best of luck to Simon Miller. Peter acknowledges the good work Simon is doing with this and other horses as well as the great support to Amelia Park with the large number of horses that Simon has agisted there. Its great to see him and his wife having success.

FOALS
Whilst the racing side of things is quiet Peter is looking forward to the birth of several foals in the following weeks.

BACK FROM CHINA
Peter arrived back late last week from his favourite Country (besides Australia) and was chuffed with the creek and dams filling up. He has returned all fired up with a lot of new ideas so we look forward to hearing about the next phase for Amelia Park. He's not sure if he preferred the heat in China or the cold wet weather here!

CELLAR COMPLETED
The new Cellar and Landscaping is now complete, just some small touches to finish off. It looks quite stunning and we will put some photos on the website for viewing. Brett has done a wonderful job with the landscaping, statues and water features to compliment the Cellar. This probably means a few night trips to savour some of Peters best reds which is perfect for this weather. Glenn has installed pathway lights to the Cellar for easy access for everyone on the homeward walk.

LUCKY KRISTY
We really do wish Kristy a happy holiday in sunny BROOME this coming week . Our Stable Manager is off on a well deserved break - so enjoy!!

WALPOLE
Neil & Denise Henche took advantage of the weather and took our Stable Hands - Abass and Amless to Walpole for the weekend. It was great to see the boys being shown some of our lovely country. I will find out this week if they caught any fish - but will have to see the photos!!!!!!

We all enjoyed a beautiful sunny weekend here but how quickly it changes. Back to wet and windy and clearing up fallen trees and debris.

Until next week - enjoy !

regards
