AMELIA TO KALGOORLIE

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News Update at Amelia Park.


KALGOORLIE
AMELIAS DANCER
SUNDAY 2ND SEPTEMBER

Unfortunately Peter can't make the trip to Kalgoorlie, due to House commitments but would have loved to be there in the action.  Hoping for a good barrier draw, and if so it should be in the top at the line.  Hopefully Amelia travels well on Saturday and wakes up raring to go on Sunday.
GOOD LUCK AND GO ALL THE WAY!


Peter has a friend who runs the Kambalda Hotel and said they now have some vacancies for the Kalgoorlie Round.  Apparently all the accommodation is booked out in Kalgoorlie.  If anyone is looking to head to to the Races you call call Sue on 0427862265.  It is about 50km from Kal but well worth the travel to enjoy the Races.


WEDNESDAY
RUBACUORI
This Syndicate Horse is set for hopefully a good showing, it has all the ingredients for some winning races.

ITS GETTING CLOSER
Peter is rapped that the House is getting nearer completion.  This weekend he will be busy with Sculptures and Paintings being installed.  It is full on with workmen coming and going from early am to late pm.  WE are all very excited for Peter, it has been a lengthy project for him.

HOLIDAY TIME
We say Happy Holidays to Yo Yo who will be away for approximately 1 week.

WELCOME MAT OUT
Abbas comes home this weekend and he will be a welcome sight.  He will be a bit sore for the first few days after coming off a long long break but of course we won't give him much sympathy.  

ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY
Our hearts go to Owen who had a bad kick in the face last week, broken teeth and lots of stitches and swelling.  We couldn't believe Owen returned to work the very next day, couldn't talk, couldn't eat but there he was at 4am. That certainly shows his dedication to his horses which have had great success since he commenced at Amelia Park.
I think the staff got stuck into him while he couldn't answer back!!!
WHAT A DEDICATED TROUPER



And lastly, PETER IS LOVING THIS RAIN.


Enjoy your Racing everyone and look forward to next week.


regards

HOME FROM CHINA

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News at Amelia Park.


RACING:

TODAY BELMONT
SYNDICATE HORSE:  MAKE A MOVE
Peter thinks this horse should perform very well today.  Carrying a bit of weight but should make a good showing.  GOOD LUCK TO THE SYNDICATE.

Peter is very pleased to be home but did say he had a very rewarding time in China.

He felt honoured by being invited to the Governors Table at a large event on the Meat Industry and he was interviewed for the Television. 

He also did MORE SHOPPING for his Home (I think he would have exhausted all shops over there now) and he was very pleased with the work progress on his return home.  It is certainly looking outstanding.

I can't wait to catch up with Annie and hear how her shopping expedition went!!

Peter was on his way to Perth this morning so he didn't have time for a chat.  So I will speak to him for next weeks report and he will advise on the progress of his horses.


AMELIA PARK is thriving and its now countdown for Abbas's homecoming. 
We are all waiting for his great CURRIES!


Enjoy your week and same time, same place next week.



regards

Shelley

FANTASTIC WIN TO AMELIAS DANCER

Hello and welcome to this weeks News at Amelia Park.

F I R S T  H O M E
Great run from Amelias Dancer, Peter would hopefully have seen the run.
Amelia is still at Ascot and will be prepared for Kalgoorlie in 3 weeks.  That will be exciting.

REPRISAL
Home to the paddock and will rest up until the Bunbury/Pinjarra season.

SYNDICATE HORSE 
BELMONT TODAY - RUBACUORI 
RACE 2
Good luck to everyone in the Syndicate.


CHINA
Peter is very busy on this trip and today goes to Harbin to visit Mr. Chen.  He should return to Amelia Park Saturday.  

AMELIA PARK
All the horses are in great shape and enjoying the lush paddocks.
I spoke to Abbas on Skype and he is enjoying his extended holiday at home in India.
I did remind him he is due back in 2 weeks and gave him my shopping list.  I feel for him to have to leave his family but we will ensure he is kept busy to take his mind off it!!!!  Everyone will welcome him back with open arms.  Now he has permanency here I think he will buy a car so he can get around more freely - which will be a big help for him.

Another baby is on the way for Mason and Em.  So a big CONGRATULATIONS to them both.

I think Peter will be pleased with the progress on THE HOUSE, workmen everywhere!!



Enjoy your weekend and look forward to sending Peter's report next week.



regards

Shelley

UP AND AWAY

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News at Amelia Park.

UP AND AWAY AGAIN
Yes Peter is off again this time to China for 10 days.  Every Stewardess must know him!!
Peter is taking Annie with him (great help with the language barrier) also as he says "by taking her he doesn't have to kiss her goodbye".  It is a very busy schedule and he will go to Harbin to catch up with his good friend and business partner Mr Chen, which is always a pleasure.  


RACES DAY
Peter had a great day last Saturday at the Races, (nothing running which was a shame).   That didn't stop him and good friends Rob Wiley, Phil Matera - their partners and Sharon also joined them.  Sharon for those who may not know carries out Peters Horse accounting for the Farm.  A lot of laughs and champagne flowed throughout the day and evening.  Sharon is excited that she is finally moving into her new home this week and we wish her every happiness.

RACING
SATURDAY BELMONT - RACE 3
AMELIAS DANCER 
60KG RATING - The heaviest weight for the race and should put in a good showing in the 1600m which suits Amelia. 

REPRISAL  -  RACE 4
Peter is hoping Reprisal will show some of its form from past performances. WAIT AND SEE!!  Home to Amelia Park after the race, HE JUST DOESN'T SEEM COMFORTABLE IN THE PERTH ENVIRONMENT BUT ONCE HOME HE RELISHES THE FREEDOM. 

FOALING SEASON 
Its a great time of the year when when all the Foals are being born and exciting to wonder how many CHAMPIONS for the future.

**BARGAIN BUY**
 A THIRD SHARE IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE IN THIS YEARLING FILLY -- VISCOUNT/PRINCESS AMELIA (FORMER WINNER AT PERTH)
JOIN PETER AND PETER CODY AND HAVE SOME FUN 
A STEAL AT $4,000

If anyone is interested please call Peter (after the 20th August) to discuss


BEING PATIENT!!
SYNDICATE HORSES - NOW READY - SHOULD BE WORTH THE WAIT!
Rubacuori and Make Your Move should be running next week.
They have passed the 2 YEAR OLD WONDERS so now its time to show us their talent and reap some rewards.


THE HOUSE IS COMING ALONG IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS.  YET ANOTHER CONTAINER HAS JUST BEEN SHIPPED OUT FROM CHINA, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL PETERS TREASURES.

YES, THE CREEK IS STILL RUNNING AND ALL AT THE FARM IS IN GREAT SHAPE.


Enjoy your weekend and till next week!
