OFF AGAIN

Peter has had his piece of quiet and now returns overseas at the end of the week on a business trip to Ghana which Peter said is all coming together nicely.

AMELIA PARK

Glenn had the pleasure of meeting Bruce Barker and his wife from Sydney who are in the Syndicate and travelled out to the farm. Glenn played tour guide for them and they were very impressed by what Peter has created here.

As per the above Picture (thanks Glenn), the farm looks absolutely beautiful at this time of the year, and YES THE CREEK HAS WATER, not flowing yet especially if this perfect weather continues, but soon enough.

WELCOME BACK

Annie and family arrived home and said it was a wonderful trip home to China to catch up with family and friends. I reminded her its now BACK TO WORK!

Thanks everyone and hope you enjoy this week and happy Punting!

AMELIA PARK BIRTHDAY BASH

Welcome everyone and we hope your weekend was a winner for you.

A QUIET RACING WEEK
Peter reported that a lot of the horses are gearing up for returns, it was just one of those quiet weeks. Looking forward to the turn around.

ASCOT - WEDNESDAY
AMELIAS GLORY - RACE 2
Hopefully the horse can perform well and be at the finish first.

TIME FOR BLACK
Nothing suitable around at the moment so may look at a 1600m race.

EUROPA POINT
Had a small operation on the niggling knee so some rest for this terrific horse.

REPRISAL
Just around the corner for its return.

MASTER SECRET
Lou sorting out a few problems to see what is suitable for this horse.

AMELIA PARK
STAFF CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY BASH FOR ABBAS
We had a great night celebrating with Abbas in Dunsborough at an Indian Restaurant - Indigo Pearl, compliments of Peter. Abbas was in his element ordering a fantastic meal for the table of delectable tastings from his Homeland. We drank Amelia Park reds and whites which was enjoyed with the excellent food. We all hope you had a great night Abbas.

BELATED BIRTHDAY WISHES
OOPS! SORRY GLENN - ALL THE STAFF WISHED YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREETING ON THE 9TH.

Peter spent a quiet weekend at the farm doing his stint of babysitting Leah while Annie is away in China, I think they both quite enjoyed the time together. It all changes this week with Leah returning to school and Annie arriving home, all back to normal.
Thats the end of pinching the chook eggs and vegetables.

GOLF DRIVING RANGE
Has begun so I am looking at new golf sticks and buckets and buckets of golf balls for everyone.

My apologies for the late report, I was waiting for photos of the Birthday Bash but have had a hiccup with downloading so hopefully will have ready for next week.

Have a great week everyone and HAPPY PUNTING!!

FANTASTIC V & V WALSH RACE DAY

Welcome everyone, we hope you had a great weekend.

V & V WALSH WEEKEND
Peter reported that the weekend was once again a success. Friday night at Jacksons Restaurant with Family and Management was as usual outstanding. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the top quality service and superb meal that Neil Jackson conjours up for this Annual event. A late night was had by quite a few I am told. Off to Ascot for the Saturday Races which I can't believe the EVANS CLAN cleaned up again. Peter was quite pleased with the days racing results, a winner would have finished the day off but - thats racing. I WON'T MISS NEXT YEAR!!!

MASTER SECRET - 4TH
BLACK HABIT - 3RD
CHINA BAY - 3RD
Good all round work from all.

RANDWICK
EUROPA POINT - 4th

MS CHIEF BOUND - 2ND IN TRIAL
Gai Waterhouse said the horse is coming along very nicely and should be ready to race in the next couple of weeks.

QUIET WEEK OF RACING COMING UP FOR AMELIA PARK
Dion Luciani has arrived at the farm to put some horses through early morning workouts and he will stay for a few days working with the staff.

AMELIA PARK
I don't know how Peter does it. After Hosting the weekend in Perth he then returned to the farm on Sunday with his Chinese friends and wined and dined them through the night. Then it was back to Perth on Monday for business. I think this week will be a quieter one for Peter. I am looking forward to playing host to Peter for Dinner for a change this week so he can relax.

Annie has taken a holiday to China with her daughter and Mother and we hope they are enjoying themselves catching up with family and friends. We are pinching all the chook eggs while they are away.

What a night of wind and rain here in the South West . It was certainly a great start to filling the dams and creeks, but the wind is not welcome with all the cleaning up that is required.

I hope everyone enjoys the rain and have a great week ahead.

THE START OF SOMETHING BIG

THE BEAUTIFUL LOCATION OF PETER'S NEW HOME

OPPOSITE THE WORLD CLASS CELLAR

Hello everyone and welcome to another week in PARADISE.

I hope everyone enjoyed their wonderful Easter break, we were lucky that the weather held off for most of the weekend, mind you we do love that drop.

Construction of the new house has started, this will be a long term project that will result in a beautiful, comfortable and entertaining abode. WATCH THIS SPACE FOR UPDATES.

AMELIAS DANCER - 3RD

Very impressive, it was the run of the race. We will have to be patient as there is a lot of learning still to be done but is showing alot of promise for the future.

3 BIG CHANCES THIS COMING WEEK

SYDNEY - EUROPA POINT

Saturday - Peter is looking forward to this race, the knee has come good we are told so here's hoping for a good showing.

ASCOT -

CHINA BAY

By all accounts should be in the winning circle.

BLACK HABIT

Should show a good honest run.

V & V WALSH DAY

The Annual Family/Management Weekend is here again. Friday night is at the world class Jacksons Restaurant where everyone is treated to a feast of delectable food and wine. Saturday they are welcomed to Ascot in the Chairmans Lounge for a wonderful day of racing, food, wine and the odd punt. We can only hope that the EVANS Clan don't reap the day of barrel draw winnings as they have in the last few years.

Peter will be hosting his friend and business associate Mr Chen and Family from China for the weekend which I am sure they will thoroughly enjoy.

I do wish everyone a fantastic weekend, this will be the first year of missing this wonderful weekend as I have a wedding to attend - NOT HAPPY!

AMELIA PARK

Peter had a quiet Easter break and suffered through a bout of flu, I did make him feel better by saying it was best now than the V & V WALSH WEEKEND.
I don't think it made him feel any better at all!!!

Luckily he recovered enough to host David Rodwell and Rita from South Africa, Mal and Sam Dempsey and Wally & Robin to a Dinner Party on Sunday which all went very nicely.

A BIG THANKYOU

Peter sends his appreciation to the staff at the farm for having to work all over the Easter break, its a hard job, BUT THATS THE HORSE INDUSTRY.

We wish everyone a fantastic week and weekend and lets hope the horses put on their best performances for the V & V Walsh Day.

regards
