ANOTHER GREAT WIN & TEMPTED

Greetings to everyone and welcome to this weeks report on the happenings for Amelia Park.

ALMOHAD
This great win topped off a very enjoyable week for Peter. Lou was kind enough to host a table for the Owners and a great day was certainly had by all.

LADY XAAR
Will be coming home after running poorly on Sunday. The cough that she carried a few weeks ago caused her grief in her run and a lung wash has been carried out and hence a return to Amelia Park for a rest and Peter will gauge her progress from there.

EXCITING RETURNS
BLACK HABIT will return and we look forward to a great campaign ahead. This horse looks fresh and ready for a run.

AMELIAS REASON - under the Price Stables will also begin her campaign. Pricey believes this horse should go well as preparation including beach work has left the horse in excellent condition and it will be given a short run. We wish Pricey the best of luck.

PERTH SALES TEMPTATION
I made Peter repeat several times - NO BUYS!!!

Peter came close but pulled out when the price kept on the up. He did enjoy catching up with Gai Waterhouse and other friends and associates and was chuffed to have a $40,000 SALE.

He was more than pleased to come home to his 15 FOALS that have arrived and are settling in nicely to their new abode.

AMELIA PARK
Lou will be bringing Guyno and Almohad home this week for a rest and freshen up and Lou will spend some time here checking through the stock and liaising with the staff.

BALI
Peter is off to Bali this week but will return in time for next weeks report.

I hope you have a great week and happy racing to all!

AUSTRALIANS CELEBRATE - THE FLAGS WERE FLYING

Hello everyone, we hope you all enjoyed your Australia Day Holiday, were you lucky enough to have the 4 day break like some people!!! nice for some. It was wonderful to see the huge amount of Australiana throughout the town, including everything from Aussie thongs, car flags and tattoos to yummy Lamingtons.

YES - WE'RE RACING

SATURDAY
ALMOHAD is back and looking for a good result.

LADY XAAR will also be racing on SUNDAY, will be watched closely.


EUROPA POINT
Will return to the track in the East in the next couple of weeks. Peter is excited as he believes it is THE BEST HORSE HE HAS HAD so we are hoping for a great campaign ahead. We will certainly keep you updated with the date of return.


REMINDER TO ALL SYNDICATE MEMBERS AND CLIENTS
NIGHT UNDER THE STARS 27TH FEBRUARY.

I will keep a reminder posted each week as it promises to be an even better event than last year.

All is good at Amelia Park, unfortunately the creek is nearly dry so again we will wait for that first downpour, sadly a number of months away yet.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend Racing.

BUSY BUT REWARDING CHINA TRIP


Hello everyone, Peter apologises for a non event on reporting last week. He was on a whirlwind trip to China which had a rewarding result for him.

Peter experienced the extremes - from leaving minus 15 degrees to a welcome hot 40 degrees, he hasn't decided which he prefers!!!!

QUIET ON THE RACING FIELD
LADY XAAR raced last week - quite pleased with the run and hopefully will run again this week, suggest an each way bet.

BLACK HABIT - Exciting racing ahead for this horse, he is a BALL OF MUSCLE at the moment and raring to go so will keep you updated on this one.
There will also be a number of Horses returning to the Track within the next few weeks so watch for further reports.

WELCOME BACK MUMS & BUBS
Its wonderful to watch the babies running around and the Mums keeping close tabs on them. Its amazing how they learn so quickly and they all look like stars of the future to us.

NEW FACE OF AMELIA PARK AND PRODUCTS
Peter had a very productive Weekend on his return from China.
A full Photo Shoot was held for the new face of Amelia Park and Products - including Wines, Racing and Products. They have been looking for the right face for quite some time and have now FOUND HER. A Model with a beautiful face and soul to match and it was a delight to work with her. She has worked in Milan and New York and we are proud to have her working with us.
We will keep you informed about the exciting venture over the coming months.

A NIGHT UNDER THE STARS
Put the 27th February in your dairy. REMEMBER LAST YEARS EVENT - Peter is again hosting a Night of Entertainment along the same lines as last years event. The excellent Band will return so we are looking forward to another fantastic evening. I will keep you informed with times as it comes closer.

ENJOY YOUR AUSTRALIA DAY HOLIDAY, good luck with your Racing and look forward to reporting to you next week.


regards

" WARNING - WARNING "

ANYONE THINKING OF COMING TO AMELIA PARK AFTER A WIN, BE PREPARED - JUST ASK DOUG SMITH.
Doug ventured out to Amelia Park for a quiet visit before ALMOHAD had won the Race.
Needless to say Doug had to spend the night at my place with the TRUSTED PLASTIC BUCKET after spending time at the Cellar with Peter playing host to us, sampling the BEST REDS AND CIGARS. A fantastic night was had and Doug's wife sends Peter Congratulations and sorry she wasn't there to help celebrate. - NEXT TIME!

GREAT WIN TO ALMOHAD
Fantastic Win - As they said, thats how the Perth Cup would have turned out - WHAT IF !! Disappointing it didn't happen that way but Peter is thrilled with the horse and gives a big wrap to the staff at Amelia Park in the lead up to the race and to Lou for his outstanding effort. Almohad will now come home to freshen up again and prepare for his next program leading up to the Bunbury Cup and other suitable races, we will keep you informed.

RETURNING
In the next couple of weeks will have LADY XAAR and BLACK HABIT coming back for hopefully some successful racing results.

ALSO COMING HOME in the next couple of weeks will be a number of Mares and Foals from around Australia so it is exciting watching the babies growing.

ENTERTAINING AT AMELIA PARK
Peter is still entertaining (hasn't stopped actually), this week Rob Wiley and Phil Matera stayed over and Wes Cameron will be here I believe Tuesday/Wednesday. It will be good to catch up with Wes.

CHINA
Peter returns to China next week and will send thru his report from there.

I hope everyone enjoyed their New Years Eve celebrations and hope it is a great year for everyone and the horses too!!!!!
