Everyone and everything at the farm is progressing well EXCEPT FOR THE FLIES which are driving the staff crazy so we keep thinking of the poor horses to get us thru each day . THANK GOODNESS FOR FLY NETS!!!!

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.

regards

Shelley
