UNBELIEVABLE - MORE GOLD IN HONG KONG

Hi everyone, I couldn't wait until next week!

I did say in my last report that when Peter is home there is always something happening - WELL - Peter has only been home for 1 day and just reported that -

HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL WINE SHOW HELD LAST EVENING JUDGED - THE CABERNET MERLOT - GOLD - AND THEN WON THE OVERALL TROPHY AGAINST ALL THE OTHER GOLD WINNERS FOR BEST CABERNET/CABERNET BLEND.

HOW EXCITING FOR BEING THE FIRST YEAR IN COMPETITION. This involved all Countries in the World that participated so what a mean feat for Peter and especially JEREMY GORDON - OUR HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS and we look forward to celebrating with Peter at his earliest convenience.

WHAT A WEEK IN THE WINE FIELD FOR - AMELIA PARK WINES

FABULOUS FIRST

Welcome to this weeks report on the news and happenings at Amelia Park. I HOPE THERE WERE SOME NICE COLLECTS ON THE MELBOURNE CUP!!!





RACING

AMELIAS DANCER - 1ST
PINJARRA 31/10.
Fantastic result, a good run and more to follow.



REPRISAL
FLEMINGTON 2/11
Very ordinary race from this top horse, Trainer is scratching his head!!

MELBOURNE
I spoke to Peter this morning and he reports that he has had a wonderful time, socialising of course and catching up with lots of friends. He thanks his good friends Alex and Valerie for allowing him to use their Units in Southbank which was greatly appreciated and in a great location.
He visited Haysey's Stables and inspected 3 of his horses being Reprisal, New Light and the special - Marseille.

Peter was hosted on Saturday by Brett Fogarty which was a fantastic day, then onto his good friend Debbies for a sumptious Sunday night Dinner which was fabulous and all had to be pushed out the door in the early hours.

Melbourne Cup day was something special, even the rain didn't dampen their fun and enjoyment. The luncheon, service and atmosphere on this grand day was memorable.
Peter commented that the most expensive days were the SHOPPING DAYS by the ladies - a new outfit for every occasion but he says it was worth it as Sammy and Annie certainly stood out in the crowd.

We congratulate Peters Brother Greg who had a 3rd in Race 8 by Hidden Wonder. This horse has now certainly paid his way in the region of approximately $550,000. Well done Greg!

Peter said today is for relaxing - so he thinks, I'm sure the girls will sneak out for that last minute of frantic shopping - GO GIRLS!

AMELIA PARK SYNDICATE 111
Dion Luciani is starting the next Syndicate so for all details please contact him on 0407768865 and enjoy all the excitement of owning Horses in a Syndicate.

Everything is going fine at Amelia Park and we look forward to Peters return, there is always something happening when Peter is back.

I look forward to reporting next week and enjoy your weekend.

MORE SPRING BABIES

Hello everyone, I hope everyone enjoyed their Holiday Weekend. It was a shame for the Collingwood & St. Kilda fans that their wasn't a result. What a game!! I bet they don't feel like going thru their paces again this week. Oh well - as they say - Thats Footy!!



It is a quiet week of Racing this week, the Stables are full and the girls are flat out Pre-Training and putting the young ones thru their paces.



BALI
Peter is enjoying himself in Bali with family and friends and he enjoys catching up with all the staff, the majority have been with him since Tanah Lot was built. They are a great bunch of happy people when Mr Peter comes to stay.

AMELIA PARK - THE AVIARY - BABIES ON THE WAY
Both Peter and Glenn are delighted that a pair of the Alexandrine Parrots have eggs. It will be an exciting few weeks before they hatch so Glenn is keeping a careful watch and making sure they are topped up with fresh food twice daily.

Tegan reported that she celebrated her 21st in Walpole with a few very late nights/early mornings. OH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN!!

THE CREEK IS LOW
It is sad to see the creek already subsiding at this early stage, we hope for everyone that there are some wet days still to come, the Farmers especially.

A short report this week but Peter is due back so I look forward to all his news for next week.

Enjoy!

Shelley

NOT SPRING LAMB - BUT SPRING FOAL

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks news.

A COLT OUT OF SAXON/BLACK MAIDEN

ISN'T HE JUST THE CUTEST

He was born within 15 minutes of Wanga leaving the paddock to pick up Black Maidens feed and to then miss it after sleeping at the Farm the previous night so he would be there. Mind you Wanga is beaming. It is amazing that within half an hour the foal is up and looking for feed. LETS HOPE HE IS A FUTURE WINNER .

RACING

22/9 - AMELIAS TIGER & AMELIAS DANCER

Not in the finish this time, both horses lacked the drive but nevertheless will keep trying.

SPECIAL HARMONY - GREAT BLOOD LINE

Great results at Rosehill for Slater and Little Surfer Girl. Its great to see the line continuing with winners. Peter was thrilled.

AMELIA PARK

Peter spent another busy weekend and week entertaining at the Farm together with business luncheons and dinners. He makes me tired just watching him going thru his paces. He absolutely thrives on it.

BALI Peter is off on Saturday for a bit of R & R with the family. I hope he can rest but with so much happening at the moment I know he will be champing at the bit to get back and get into it.

AMELIA PARK SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAYS

We also send birthday greetings to Annie who celebrated her birthday this week.

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TEGAN

Tegan will be celebrating her Birthday in Walpole this weekend and we all send our love and best wishes to her. We will catch up with her on Monday to celebrate.

It has certainly been a month for Female Birthdays at Amelia Park.

We wish everyone a great Long Weekend and whoever may follow St. Kilda or Collingwood - GOOD LUCK!!

FLORA & FAUNA
Peter is rapped with the amount of different species of BIRDS that are now visiting the Farm including Rosellas, White Tailed Black Cockatoos, 28's, Ibis, Willies, Wrens etc. It is a delight to hear their different calls and watch them vying for nesting spots. The Aviary birds certainly seem to entice them in.
Glenn is also excited as the Alexandrines and Derbyans are very busy mating and getting their breeding boxes ready. We are looking forward to the babies being hatched and watching the parents raise their young.

All the trees are now in bud and the Weeping Willows are ahead sprouting their beautiful leaves.

NORTHAM THURSDAY
ALEVANTA
Peter is looking forward to his return. The horse has drawn Barrier 1 and will be ridden by Pikey so a place bet would be a good return.

RACE DAY
What a great day was had by the staff. All the women looked fabulous, (and the men certainly looked dapper all suited up). Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of hoo haaing going on with big wins but all in all it was a great social day and as usual Peter was the perfect Host.
The only sour note was a group in the next Box to us who were very rowdy and uncouth and caused the staff and security quite a headache. Compliments to Sylvana who handled the unsavoury situation in a professional manner. It certainly leaves you feeling embarrassed of how people can behave.

THEFT AT THE FARM
What an awful feeling to know someone is trespassing on your property and stealing expensive items. All of the Riding Saddles were taken on Sunday evening which prevented the staff from training the horses. A very expensive exercise for replacement of this equipment. We have now received an email that has been circularised as a Warning - THE FARRIER CONMAN. Apparently he his travelling around Australia and there has been a lot of reports of thefts. BE AWARE and make sure everything is secure. Wouldn't it be great to catch these so called (humans) in the act.

FAREWELL & GOOD LUCK
Peter reported that Rob Wiley leaves for Melbourne for a couple of years and we wish him all the best and will certainly miss his regular trips to the farm. He was classed as one of the Amelia Park crew so hopefully he said he will get back over here as much as he can.

AMELIA PARK WINES
It is exciting times for Peter with the release of several wines into Restaurants and Liquor Outlets. Our Winemaker Jeremy Gordon (The Jimmy Watson Medal Winner) has done a magnificent job of selecting TOP GRADES FOR TOP WINE. Jeremy is in Sydney this week and then continues onto England to promote the Wines.
The Wines will be entered into most of the Shows around the State which will begin at the end of September for Judging so we are all looking forward to that.

A reminder to everyone about the Amelia Park Wine Website www.ameliaparkwines.com.au . Membership offers a 20% discount. Also you can join the Amelia Park Wine Club and have twice yearly deliveries. Find more details on the website.

AMELIA PARK
Its pruning time at the farm as SPRING is approaching so it will be wonderful to watch all the new growth on the Willows and Trees.

All the best to everyone for an enjoyable week.

OFF TO THE RACES

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks report.



Unfortunately another quiet week of racing but Peter reports that in the next couple of weeks we will actually be reporting on the upcoming race meetings and we will then see quite a lot of the horses ready for their campaigns.



In the meantime Outspoken Lady will be Trialling on Monday and Peter is looking forward to watching her performance.



ANOTHER HOPEFUL CHAMPION JUST BORN

LADY SHERIFA/DEHAER - We welcome a Filly which has been sired by the best in Australia so this one will be a good one to follow in the next couple of years.

EXCITING SATURDAY RACE DAY - WHAT TO WEAR!!
Its getting closer and we are all looking forward to a get together with Peter. He has kindly booked us into the Duxton Hotel so no doubt a late night for most back at the bar.

AMELIA PARK
We welcome RUTH on board to the Farm who has completed her probation time working at the stables. Christy and Tegan reported that Ruth is an excellent worker and has fitted into the job nicely.

Christy is due back this week (just in time for the Races) after having a break in Broome. We are not looking forward to seeing the sun tan but looking forward to her return. Tegan has held the reins and done a mighty job.

THE FISHERMAN
Peter has spent the last 2 weekends out fishing with Brett. He has been bragging about the great catches of crabs, king george whiting and squid. I am waiting for the invite to help him devour the catch.

He also enjoyed Rob Wileys company on the weekend who had time out to make a visit to the Farm.

FLORA & FAUNA

Glenn reported a family of 3 BLACK SWANS have been spending time at the Lake Islands inside the Race Track. We are hoping they will colonise and remain for generations to come.

AVIARY
It is certainly hotting up in several of the cages where the Cocks are strutting their stuff and getting their nesting boxes in readiness for the breeding season. Its amazing to watch how each different species go about their business and the way they entice the Hens. Glenn is looking forward to Amelia Parks first produce.

Enjoy your week and maybe catch you at the Races on Saturday!!

Shelley

RAIN,RAIN & MORE RAIN

Greetings everyone, isn't the rain wonderful.

FINALLY CAUGHT UP
I managed to speak to Peter this week during his very busy schedule.

He reports that again quiet racing but all horses are in work and looking forward to the next few months.
NEW FOAL
A Filly at Coolmore - Secret Vault/Holy Roman Empire and all reports coming thru are showing good signs.

AMELIA PARK

DRIVING RANGE
The Golf Driving Range is nearing completion and it looks fantastic. Brett is creating wonderful surrounds which compliment the whole area including the Aviary and Playground. My bucket of balls are at the ready.

DAY SPA & GYM
Peter advised that he has employed a lady to start soon for in-house Massages etc so the staff are lining up with the backaches (any excuse).

STAFF RACE DAY
Peter has kindly invited the Staff to a day at the Races on Saturday 21st. We are hoping one of the horses maybe running on the day to make it even more exciting. The females are busy discussing the WHAT TO WEAR!!!

STORM AND RAIN
Yesterday sent us a feisty storm together with approximately 40mm downpour. I know you have heard it before but THE CREEK IS BREAKING ITS BANKS. Its wonderful to see at last and hoping for more to come.
I hope everyone far and wide is also getting the rain (badly needed everywhere).

Have a great week everyone and look forward to reporting next week.

Shelley

APOLOGIES

HELLO EVERYONE

MY APOLOGIES FOR THIS WEEK. PETER HAS BEEN AWAY AND VERY BUSY ON HIS RETURN AND I HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM THE OFFICE OFF AND ON.

PETER AND I HAVEN'T CAUGHT UP FOR THIS WEEKS REPORT SO AS IT IS A QUIET WEEK I WILL GIVE A FULL REPORT ON WEDNESDAY.

I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND WITH THIS GREAT WEATHER AND HAPPY RACING TO ALL!!


REGARDS

SHELLEY

HERE TODAY - GONE AGAIN

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks report.

RACING THIS WEEK
CHIRON - BELMONT WEDNESDAY RACE 3
This is exciting - Everyone looking forward to this race, putting a lot of hope in Chiron and have been told should be a good bet to be on. COME ON CHIRON.

YOUNGSTERS
Lou's stables are mostly full of the young ones coming thru so pretty quiet racing at the moment but boy it will be exciting times to come.

SATURDAY BIRTHDAY RACE DAY
Peter is taking Wanga to the races this week to celebrate Wanga's Birthday. I have told Peter to have a quiet Friday night because when those 2 get together it is usually a very very late night.

GONE AGAIN
I was looking forward to catching up with Peter this week for a few wines but on Sunday he flew out again. He is in Kuala Lumpur on business and will return on Thursday.

SCOOP SHOOT
Peter reported that the photo shoot went very well and the weather was perfect on the day. The article will be out in September and I will keep you updated with the details.

OUR STAR JOCKEY
We are thrilled for Kevin Bohorun who races in Kalgoorlie most weekends. He bought home a great 1st and 2nd on the 18th and I should have been on both rides as 1st paid out $21.00 and 2nd paid out $26.00. Well done Kev and keep up the great work.

AMELIA PARK
We awoke on Thursday last to find a huge gum had decided to drop and in doing so smashed the horse fence and landed in the paddock. Luckily the horses weren't harmed but had to be moved quickly. The staff riders had to walk their horses past quietly so as not to spook them on their way to the track. The chain saws got to work and all cleared within a few hours.
Everything else at the farm is running smoothly and I have to repeat it again THE CREEK is rapidly creeping up the banks and looking splendid. The bird life are in their glory and starting to look around for a safe and cosy place to build their nests. Its a great time of the year.

Here's to a great weekend for everyone and look forward to reporting next week.


regards

Shelley

SCOOP SHOOT

Hello everyone, we are enjoying cold mornings but some beautiful sunny days at the moment, just perfect really.

SCOOP MAGAZINE
Peter is thrilled that Scoop World Magazine are coming to Amelia Park on Thursday to do an article so the staff are busy bees getting all in readiness. We will advise when the article will be issued.

CHIRON
Ran a good first up run to come third, both Peter and Lou are very pleased with this horse and look for further good results.
Maybe running on Wednesday or Saturday IN A 1600M RACE so will keep you posted.
TIME FOR BLACK
Pricey said he may have a run at Northam on Thursday.

BROKEN DOWN
CHINA BAY & AMELAS LAD
Unfortunately these two horses have broken down and will not be racing again.
China Bay had certainly paid its way so now time for a rest.
Amelias Lad was showing consistency but did not improve from a knee injury. We say goodbye and thankyou.

DAY SPA & GYM
Peter advised that he has appointed a lady to run the Day Spa for massages etc and will be moving to Amelia Park to commence work within the next 1-2 months. My back and shoulders feel better already.

All else is great at the farm and we look forward to Thursday, I will put my Sunday best on!!

regards to all and look forward to next week reporting.

Shelley

ARRIVED HOME SAFELY

Greetings everyone, I hope you all had a good week and enjoying the rain but not the cold and report to you on the happenings at Amelia Park.

HOME SAFE & SOUND
Its great to see Peter arrive home safely in the wee hours of Sunday morning. By stopping off at Hong Kong for a few days I think has helped the jet lag a bit.
Peter said it is the longest trip away for a while and he really missed the farm.
The enjoyable part for him is coming home to see that the farm staff have been looking after everything as if it was their own. He is very appreciative to everyone and passed comment that it is looking beautiful and THE CREEK IS RUNNING.

BACK TO RACING

BELMONT WEDNESDAY - RACE 1
CHIRON - 1400M FIRST START
Peter is looking forward to this race, Chiron has been drawn outside but looking for a good finish and will be keenly watched on this first up performance. He will then be bought straight back to the farm. They believe this magnificent looking horse has a great future ahead.

NORTHAM THURSDAY - RACE 7
TIME FOR BLACK - 1600M
Pricey is very confident this horse will be hard to beat so Peter is excited about both days of racing.

BEING SHIPPED OUT
BROOD MARES
A number of Peters Brood Mares will be shipped all over Australia in the next two weeks in preparation to be served. We will again look forward to next years foals.

AMELIA PARK PRODUCTS
Peter informed me that the October launching of Amelia Park Products and Wines is well underway and we will keep you informed beforehand so keep an eye open.

CANADA & LAS VEGAS
Peter thoroughly enjoyed his time with daughter Sammy in Canada. He admired the beautiful Scenery and sights that Sammy showed them. Sammy will be returning home in January with her partner who Peter says will fit in nicely as he loves fishing and camping. Peter is very much looking forward to her homecoming.
He then spent several days in Las Vegas (I am very envious) which he said was a fantastic place to see. I am still waiting to catch up with him to hear more and see the photos I hope he took!!

AMELIA PARK
Peter was very pleased with the progress of the Golf Driving Range and Brett is working hard finishing off the planting and landscaping surrounds. I still can't get anyone interested in retrieving the golf balls from the dam but I am working on it.
His residence is moving along as planned and he said he came across some excellent Paintings while he was away which will suit the Cigar Room so they are being shipped home.

RACING SYNDICATE
Peter informed me that he will be starting another Syndicate next year and I will keep you informed with details. If anyone is interested please feel free to email me at geobay@bigpond.net.au for further discussion. I am sure it will be another winner as the previous Syndicates have been, its great to be involved.

I hope you all enjoy your racing this week and look forward to reporting next week.

BACK FROM HOLIDAYS

Hello everyone, welcome to this weeks report.

I apologise for the lateness this week but have been away (nowhere exciting).

I hope you enjoyed the Farm pictures posted last week!

PETER WILL RETURN ON THE WEEKEND and we are all looking forward to seeing him and hearing about his adventure.

QUIET WEEK again this last week so not a lot to report only that the staff are still flat out with their full stables. We welcome Ruth to Amelia Park who has been employed to assist Christy and Tegan with the horses. They are so so pleased.

Lou reports that all is going well both at Amelia Park and his stables in Perth.

I look forward to sending thru a full report next week after Peter's return to reality.


We are certainly enjoying the rain here and only hope our Farmers will benefit also.

Enjoy your week everyone.

regards

Shelley

PEACEFUL WINTER ON THE FARM

HELLO EVERYONE

A NICE QUIET WET WEEK DOWN SOUTH.

I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE SOME OF OUR BEAUTIFUL FARM DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WITH YOU.

CANADA

Peter is thoroughly enjoying his time away. He is having a wow of a time with his daughter Sammy and seeing the wonderful sites. I am looking forward to the photos on his return.

AMELIA PARK

Both Lou and Dion have visited us in the last week. They have been delivering more horses for Pre-Training, the stable staff are certainly working the extra hours with full stables and paddocks. Wherever you are on the farm horses surround you, what a great feeling.

The Golf Driving Range is coming along nicely with Landscaping underway and with it being directly opposite the Tennis Court and The Aviary, on completion will make it a beautiful area of the farm.

I will check with Lou for any racing ahead and report to you with the details.

Enjoy your week everyone!

regards

Shelley

DEPARTURE & ARRIVAL

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks update.

DEPARTURE

Peter departed for Canada on Sunday and will be away for approximately 3-4 weeks so I will be liaising with Lou and the Staff to give you a weekly update. I am sure Peter will enjoy his break away as he has been extremely busy in his business. He is really looking forward to seeing his daughter Sammy, a lot of catching up to do!!

RACING
It is a quiet few weeks at this stage but apparently all the horses are either resting or in Pre Training and everyone is progressing as they should.

AMELIA PARK

ARRIVAL
Not quite Canada but I have just spent 3 days in Kalgoorlie catching up with a friend. It has certainly grown in the 27 odd years since my last visit there. The sadness was seeing some of the old Hotels that bore the brunt of the earthquakes recently but they are banding together to restore as much as possible. I was still able to have a few off the wood in some that are still operating. The Super Pit is something to see, its amazing the size of it, we are lucky we have such rich minerals for our State.

THE CREEK IS FINALLY RUNNING
It is a great sight to walk over the bridge everyday and see the water meandering thru the farm. All the horses are adapting to the recent rains, as we are trying to do, and enjoying the rays of sunshine filtering thru.

I hope everyone enjoys their week and I will attempt to have more racing news for you to report.


regards

Shelley

OFF TO CANADA

Welcome all, has everyone been as cold as we are down here, the days are perfect but waiting for the rain which also brings some warmth.

RACING RESULT
REPRISAL
Very disappointed with the result. Apparently when travelling kicked up mud in its mouth which put him off, thats a reasonable excuse anyway!

HORSE UPDATE

AMELIAS LAD - Is back in work and looking forward to his next campaign.
CHIRON - Is developing nicely and having Galileo as the Sire will certainly give it a great start.
MARCELLUS - Has shin sore at the moment but again having Galileo as the Sire we are sure this horse is going to be a sure winner.
EUROPA POINT - Recovering well and has been taken up to Brisbane for a time.
LADY XAAR - Will be running but unsure what race day, I will keep you posted.

AMELIA PARK
Peter enjoyed his weekend with Brian Bradley and Barbara. Peter said it is exciting at this time of year when they sit down and decide which Stallions will be suitable for their breeding.

We love the trees (hundreds of them) at the farm, but the leaves - oh the leaves!!
The gutters are bursting so the staff will be
Peter said he is looking very much forward to travelling to Canada this weekend. He will spend some quality time with his daughter Samantha and do the tourist jaunt. I have asked for lots of photos for the report BUT will also ask Sammy as a backup.

As Peter will be away for about 3 weeks I will do my best to give weekly racing reports without his input.

ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY PETER!

Have a great week everyone and see you here next week.

regards

Shelley

ICE, ICE AND MORE ICE

Hello all, welcome to this weeks report. We hope everyone enjoyed their week.
We have changed the Weekly Report now to TUESDAY, sorry for the changes.

SATURDAY 12TH - FLEMINGTON RACE 8
REPRISAL - 2000 metres
Peter is looking forward to this race, Hayesy is very confident the horse will perform well so we will all have eyes on the tv. Good luck to Peter.

RED TIME RUNNER
Disappointing run on Wednesday, a lot more maturing to do yet.
LADY XAAR
Unfortunately Lady was bumped during the run and couldn't get back into it.

QUIET UPCOMING RACING WEEK


AMELIA PARK
Yet another busy weekend for Peter hosting guests, the weather has been beautiful so lovely long walks around the Farm and long luncheons.

This weekend Amelia Parks Breeding Guru, Brian Bradley will visit with Barbara to assist Peter in making decisions on some of the horses breeding future. We are looking forward to catching up with them.

The mornings are freezing here, below 0 yesterday, all the lawns are iced over, the animals and us are treading carefully until the sun comes out.


SPONSORSHIP
Peter said this week he met with the Turf Club of Perth and Bunbury and has DOUBLED THE SPONSORSHIP. Peter is always extremely happy with their professional service. I for one am looking forward to next time we are off to the races.

I wish everyone a great weekend and enjoy the sunny days.

GOOD RUNNING REPRISAL

SUNDAY PIZZA & WINE DAY AT AMELIA PARK

Welcome everyone, we hope a good weekend was had by all.

A GREAT FIRST TO LADY XAAR

A great win for this horse, she has grown in strength and credit to the staff at Amelia Park where Lady completed her training and went straight to the track. Good work girls.

TIME FOR BLACK - 3RD

Very pleased with this placing, hopefully higher next time.

RED TIME RUNNER - 4TH

Still maturing so will give him 1 more start and then home for a rest and will gauge his future from then.

THIS WEEKS RACING

REPRISAL - FLEMINGTON SATURDAY 5TH

2500m Race and Peter is very much looking forward to this horse going the distance. Should suit the 2500.

FARIDAT

First Trial - Unfortunately played up at the Barrier and was scratched so will bring him back in a fortnight.

NEWSLETTER DAY CHANGE

Peter thought Wednesday would be a more appropriate day as we can re check the racing programme for the week and report to you with the upcoming racing events.

AMELIA PARK

And yet another busy social time for Peter.

Last week he had business clients from Russia visit the farm. The Cellar candles were burning brightly as Peter was treated by his clients with excellent Champagne, eggs and top shelf black caviar which Peter said was sensational. The next night it was back to toasted sandwiches for him!

Also last week Peter had his good friend Debbie from Melbourne send her son James, wife Marie and son down to Amelia Park for a few days so he could see first hand what Debbie always talks about. We had drinks at the Tavern and they commented on how lucky we were to be living in such a beautiful creation of Peters.

SUNDAY PIZZA & WINE DAY

Peter opened the Cellar Doors for his family and friends and a great day was had. The pizzas and Amelia Park Lamb were cooked to perfection and washed down with some great whites and reds. It was a very enjoyable afternoon/evening (a couple of sore heads the next day) as it was hard to leave the open fire!!

And its on again this weekend for Peter who is looking forward to introducing his friends Ian & Ushi to Amelia Park.

The horses and foals in particular are having a ball with these beautiful sunny days.

I look forward to reporting next week and I hope the weather keeps holding for a great LONG WEEKEND for everyone.

Regards

Shelley

A GREAT SECOND TO REPRISAL

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks report.

CAULFIELD - 2ND
REPRISAL
Peter is very pleased with the progress of this horse. As the distance increases this horse will get better. He has really come into his own with a growing spurt in the last 6 months and getting bigger and stronger and will be a great stayer in the next 2-3 years over longer distances.

THIS WEEKS RACING
WEDNESDAY 26TH - BELMONT
LADY XAAR - RACE 1
Will have a couple of starts and depending on the outcome will make a decision for the future.

THURSDAY 27TH - NORTHAM
RED TIME RUNNER - RACE 1
Has drawn well and with Willy Pike on him we are looking for a good result.
TIME FOR BLACK - RACE 9
Hopefully Pricey can get this horse up and get a result.

AMELIA PARK
Amelias Lad has returned to the farm from Lou's and has developed well and looking stronger and has started Pre-Training for future campaigns.

WELCOME BACK
TEGAN has just returned from a holiday stint in Bali and looking very refreshed, not to happy with the weather after soaking up the sun, sand and surf up there - sorry Tegan but at least you had that!!

HAVE A GOOD TRIP
MASON is now off this week for a couple of weeks to the Philippines. Another one going to the warmth. Have a great time Mas.

Peter commented that he must be paying his staff to much with all these overseas trips.

There is something wrong here, the young ones are flying overseas and I get to fly to Kalgoorlie for 3 days, oh well!!

Peter had a great weekend with friends who stayed at the farm, after lunching at Wills Domain we then joined Peter, Susan and Erica for drinks at the Tavern. It was a farewell drink with Susan who is shifting digs and going home to Scotland to live. We wish her every happiness and success over there and who knows I might get to go overseas myself in the future to visit her.

Otherwise all is good here and as I keep saying and Peter made comment - 'WE ARE WAITING FOR THE CREEK TO RUN' - I have Glenn at the ready with the camera for this event.


Have a great week everyone and good luck at the track.

Shelley
