GREETINGS FROM SINGAPORE

Peter has sent through his report from Singapore as he is flying on to China today for a week.



AMELIAS GLORY

ASCOT 21ST - THIRD

Peter was very happy with Amelias near perfect run with Corey Brown on Saturday. Appreciation goes to Corey and Amelias Glory can now go out for a well earned spell.

RACING THIS WEEK
ALMOHAD
Will hopefully continue on his winning performance so we are looking forward to a good run this week.

HIFALUTIN
MUST IMPROVE - We will be eagerly watching this race , we are sure this horse has more to offer.


WELCOME HOME - KRISTY & JASON
From their weeks Honeymoon in Bali. I only spoke briefly to Kristy today but her feet haven't touched the ground yet and said they just absolutely loved Bali and especially Tanah Lot where the girls thoroughly spoilt them. I look forward to sharing some beautiful wedding shots with you next week showing not only the Bride and Groom but also the setting of AMELIA PARK.

CHINA
Peter reports that this week will be full on with Meetings regarding the wines to export to China. I'm sure Peter will get time to show Jeremy and Daniele some of the beautiful sites he has come across on his many years visits to China.

AMELIA PARK
The sun is shining, everything is growing and all is well.
The Day Spa is nearing completion and once the Landscaping around it is complete, AMELIA PARK WILL BE COMPLETE. Counting down........


Enjoy your week everyone, until next weeks report

WINNER & WEDDING

Hello everyone, we hope you all enjoyed your week and report as follows on our week, last and next.

TOP WEDDING DAY AT AMELIA PARK
What a day of celebrations! Kristy looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown and Jason came up a treat also. It was planned perfectly as the rain went and the sun shone just at the right time. We all had a great night with dancing and merriment, I believe a group stayed until dawn, which included Peter, so Sunday was a quiet day on the farm.
TO TOP OFF THE DAY ALMOHAD CAME HOME FIRST. The Wedding group cheered him home SO MORE CELEBRATIONS.
Kristy & Jason headed off on Sunday to Bali to be spoilt by the staff at Tanah Lot so we do hope they are enjoying their Honeymoon.

SANDOWN
EUROPA POINT - SECOND
Peter thought the horse should have won, we think the jockey went to sleep towards the end but still happy with the result. Time for a spell now and then hopefully will move up to Sydney for group races in the near future.

REPRISAL - DISMAL
Very flat today, not sure where we are going with this horse, still pondering.

SATURDAY - 21st AMELIAS GLORY
Looking forward to a good run this week to show future prospects.

BUNBURY - OUR JOCKEY
Kevin ran a great race to bring home 3rd, he is really progressing well and Peter is behind him all the way.

CHINA
Peter is off on an exciting trip next week with Jeremy Gordon. Peter has formed a joint Partnership with Jeremy who is well known for collecting the Jimmy Watson Medal Award for BEST WINEMAKER IN AUSTRALIA. Peter will be introducing Jeremy to China and discussing the AMELIA PARK WINE for them to import next year. Peter is very excited with this new Venture as well as during next year having a vineyard with a Restaurant under the guidance of World known chef NEIL JACKSON.

AMELIA PARK
Experienced a freak storm last week that lasted for hours. Luckily no damage and the creek was gushing through the next day so I am happy it will be running a lot longer. The Alpacas all had their hair cuts yesterday so looking very thin and ragged but great for the Summer ahead.
All the big trucks are back again, finishing off the entrance road to Annies house so the cars wont have to be cleaned as often now.

Thats this weeks news and Peter will report from China next week.

ITS RACING TIME

Hi everyone and welcome to an exciting week of racing ahead.

3 HORSES WITH BIG CHANCES TO WIN

SATURDAY - ASCOT
HIFALUTIN & ALMOHAD
Peter is very excited with the return of these horses. They are back to their best and it will be
close watching to see how they perform on the day.

SATURDAY - SANDOWN
EUROPA POINT
Lets see if we can improve on 2nd last week to bring it home all the way. It should prove a winner on its current form and performance.

REPRISAL
Can't put a finger on any problems with the horse so hopefully just had a bad day last week and
looking forward to a better performance.

SATURDAY - ASCOT 7TH
AMELIAS GLORY AND RED TIME RUNNER
Even though the end result for both horses was a bit disappointing it is early days for the 2 babies and time and experience should return good results in the future.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALLS
Go out to AMLESS AND MASON on the farm. The cream sponges certainly make a welcome change at smoko compared to the usual milk arrowroot biscuits.

AMELIA PARK IS AT ITS BEST
Peter is delighted with the excellent state of the Park. The trees are thriving and the lawns and gardens are picture perfect. IT IS IN PRIME CONDITION FOR THE WEDDING

WEDDING BELLS AT AMELIA PARK
KRISTY - our Stable Manager, will be walking across the bridge in the beautiful setting at the Farm on Saturday afternoon to wed Jason. We are all looking forward to celebrating with Kristy and can't wait to see her in her wedding gown (it will certainly make a change from riding helmet and boots for her).

Peter and all staff at Amelia Park send all our very best wishes to both Kristy and Jason for their future together.


We hope you all enjoy your week and will report on the racing results next week.

MELBOURNE CUP DAY - 2 SECONDS

Hello everyone, what a week it has been and hopefully everyone HAD A COLLECT.

MELBOURNE
Peter has arrived home from an enjoyable time during the Cup Week.

REPRISAL
Peter and Haysey were very disappointed with the race. The horse was thoroughly checked over after the race as they thought something must be wrong, but alas it was just a bad run. They will try it in another week or so to check its form.

EUROPA POINT - MELBOURNE CUP DAY
What a race, it looked like a winner but just got beaten to come home 2nd. Overall Peter still
very very pleased with the result.

ASCOT
AMELIAS LAD - 2ND
Very pleased with the result considering the Lad had a bone chip in the knee but should recover quickly.

LADY XAAR - Coming Home
No luck at this stage due to barrier and got caught so home to Amelia Park for a rest.

ASCOT - SATURDAY 7TH
AMELIAS GLORY
Will run for the first time and has a good chance going on her performances, so looking forward to a good showing.

RED TIME RUNNER
May get a start hopefully will keep you informed.

LOTS OF RACING AHEAD
Peter will report on Monday with details on the following racing. There will be approximately 5 horses starting their campaigns. We are entering into a great season ahead.

We hope everyone enjoys their weekend and watch for next weeks racing events.
