DID THE EASTER BUNNY FIND YOU

Hi everyone and welcome to another weeks report.

EASTER HOLIDAY
We hope each and every one of you enjoyed the fantastic 5 day Break. The Weather was very kind which was great for all the holiday makers here in the south west.



CONGRATULATIONS RON BEACHAM


WINNER ALBANY CUP - DOUBLE BARREL


What a great Win for Ron Beacham, Double Barrel did Training at Amelia Park and has just arrived back and I am sure the stable staff will be giving this winner great treatment.



Peter had a relaxing Easter break at the Farm, did some entertaining but he said on the whole it was great having a quiet time and enjoying being home. That has now come to an end as he flys out to China next Thursday for approx. 12 days.



V & V WALSH DAY - ASCOT


I'M READY!


We all have the most enjoyable day at this Annual Function and much thanks goes to the generosity of PETER & GREG WALSH.


SYNDICATE III


I spoke to Peter yesterday and he reiterated how excited he is about the 3rd Syndicate and is looking forward to seeing them perform on the track.



I hope everyone enjoys their weekend, I know I will and will report all the news next week.

EASTER GREETINGS

Hi everyone and welcome to this weeks report.

ITS THE EASTER BREAK AGAIN, CAN'T BELIEVE I AM SAYING THIS, BUT DOESN'T THE YEAR GO QUICKLY.

AMELIA PARK
Peter is staying put this Holiday Period but very busy entertaining, Friends coming from right left and centre every day. I think Peter will need a holiday after the Holiday. Mind you he is a good stayer.

REPRISAL
Peter is re-assessing its future in Melbourne. Unfortunately Reprisal started like a train but has gone by the wayside so a decision will have to be made.

V & V WALSH RACE DAY
SATURDAY 30TH

All the Frocks and Suits are being aired for this Annual Event. It is the most fantastic day where we get spoilt with silver service and entertainment all day.
Peter will definitely have to find some way of stopping WANGA AND THE EVANS CLAN from collecting all the PRIZES. Its amazing how every year they have the MAJORITY OF COLLECTS. We all certainly give them a hard time.

AMELIA PARK SYNDICATE III
Peter is very happy with the start of this Syndicate. All the horses purchased have now been broken in and will return to Amelia Park to start their future of Racing and hopefully give the Syndicate Members some fun and excitement on their Race Days.


PETER SENDS ALL EASTER GREETINGS TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND HOPE YOU HAVE A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE LONG EASTER BREAK.

I also send Easter Greetings to everyone. See you here next week.


regards

Peter left for Singapore and the Phillipines yesterday on a work related venture for recruitment and will return on Saturday.

GREAT FRIENDS VISIT AMELIA PARK
Peter is looking forward to returning to entertain Brian and Barb Bradley together with Brian and Gloria from the UK who will both be spending the weekend at the farm.
Brian & Gloria promote and sell Amelia Park Wines in the UK and apparently they are doing exceptionally well so Peter is looking forward to sharing some wines and a long chat.

The horse will have a start this week but maybe a bit short as looks to be a distance runner. Good luck.

FULL STABLES AT BURSTING POINT
Peter enjoys seeing the full stables knowing that alot of the horses will soon be ready for the track. A full season will be upon us soon so lots of travelling coming up.

BIRTHDAYS
Glenn certainly enjoyed his get together last Saturday at the farm and it was great to see Peter & Annie able to come. Lots of music and dancing - a great night was had.

ABBAS CELEBRATES HIS BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK AND WE ALL SEND OUR VERY BEST TO HIM, looking forward to a meal at the new Indian Restaurant that has opened up in town. It is a great feast as Abbas does the ordering and caters for all our tastes.

The Annual big day is approaching at the end of April so all the ladies will be busy shopping for the latest in fashion for trackside.

RAIN RAIN COME AGAIN

Hi everyone and welcome to this weeks report

GREAT DOWNPOUR
We had the most wonderful rain here last night, you can virtually see everyone smiling and lifting their heads to clean off the dust. The horses had a great time this morning in their paddocks.
Lets hope it continues a bit longer.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Peter returned from his trip with the kids and had a ball. He really enjoyed spending time with Brett & Sammy and showing them Lindsay Park and introducing them to alot of his friends and associates. They visited some lovely places and did some wine tasting (quite a bit).

AMELIA PARK WINES
AT CAPE CELLARS - BUSSELL HIGHWAY, WEST BUSSELTON - FRIDAY 8TH APPROX 4-7PM.
If you are in the area, come and meet Sammy who will be offering Amelia Park Wines for tastings. There are some top drops and its a great opportunity to sample THE AWARD WINNING WINES from Amelia park - HOW MANY CARTONS SIR!!!

AMELIA PARK
There are so many Foals in the paddocks at the moment, you can be mesmerised by watching their antics as they frolic together and play chasy, I like picking the leader!
If they all run as well as they look Peter and Syndicate III will certainly be in for some racing fun in the future.

THE HORSES ARE GETTING TOP CAREDion sent a Manipulative Therapist(Mr Kelly)down from Ascot to work on a number of horses which gives the horses extra therapy for any problems they have. This proceedure apparently went extremely well and will continue.

BIRTHDAY WISHESWe all wish Glenn a very Happy Birthday for the 9th and hope he enjoys the get together at the Farm.

All is good, the weather is great and I look forward to next weeks report, THE RACING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!
