AMELIA PARK - ' DINE WITH AMELIA '
THE SIGNS ARE EVERYWHERE!
The Promotion of Amelia Park Lamb & Beef is being seen out there. I have had numerous calls and emails from people in Perth and I was in Perth this week and fortunately saw the huge signs as well as the trucks displaying the sign. They are very impressive.
DAY SPA & SAUNA
Peter has advised that within the next couple of weeks there will be 2 new employees at Amelia Park to pamper one and all. We are all busy diarising our bookings.
FAMILY WEDDING - MASON & EMMALYN
It was a perfect sunny day to celebrate Peters nephew Mason's important day. The venue and Luncheon was superb and the Bride & Groom looked stunning and happy. We all wish them happiness in their new life together.
Amelia Park Farm is busy as usual, the stables are overflowing and the riders are flat out with Pre-Training so we look forward to the months ahead.
ENJOY MELBOURNE CUP DAY EVERYONE - HOPE YOU HAVE A WINNER (OR 2)!!
I look forward to Peters report on his return and the many stories he will have for me.

BACK TO ASCOT
Welcome all, I hope everyone enjoyed their Racing and report the happenings from Amelia Park.
OPENING OF ASCOT
Peter thoroughly enjoyed the opening day. Everyone was in good spirits and a great day was had by all.
RACING RESULTS
AMELIAS DANCER
Unfortunately was caught wide and then squeezed in. Dancer is still immature and also throwing its head back. The Trainer is confident its a time thing and should improve within the next months.
PINJARRA
AMELIAS GEM - 4TH
A good 1st up run, Vern Brockman was very encouraged with the performance, looking forward to big improvements when starting in the 1200-1400m races.
AMELIAS REASON
Pricey also can't work out this horses behaviour. He said when riding him on the beach he his perfect and strong but come race day?????????????? What will become of the big fella!
TRIALS 18TH
ALMOHAD
Ran a tidy race and should get a start Saturday week, will keep you posted.
AMELIAS FAIR
A little bit more work to do but coming along.
EUROPA POINT
Sadly has finished racing after breaking down. Will now go to stud and be served by High Chapparell the leading Stallion so Peter will look forward to a new star.
AMELIA PARK
WINE TASTING EVENING
Peter had a rewarding night on Monday as Host to approximately 30 people from Restaurants and Liquor Outlets in the South West promoting his Wines. Needless to say the bin was overflowing so obviously it was well tried and tested.
WEDDING BELLS SATURDAY
Peters nephew Mason is having a Wedding Luncheon which we are all invited to and looking forward to celebrating his big day.
Peter and Staff wish every happiness to Mason and his soon to be Bride.
MELBOURNE CUP
Guess who isn't going!!!
Peter will be flying out next Wednesday with Annie and his Daughter Sammy to celebrate the Melbourne Round. I really do wish them a happy time.
We enjoyed the Winter day and rainfall yesterday as the creek is looking awfully sad, hope we can get a few more of those days soon.
Have a great weekend everyone and look forward to next weeks report.
