Hello and welcome everyone to this weeks News from Amelia Park.
AMELIAS DANCER
3RD AT NORTHAM CUP
Peter was very happy with Dancer's run. It did not suit him at all the way that it was raced but Jason did a fantastic job and bought him home finishing only 1 length away from the Winner. Well done Jason, only you could have rode that race on Dancer.
PREPARING FOR ASCOT GOLD CUP - 10TH NOVEMBER
Dion will monitor Dancer's races, he is a great horse and had a fantastic career todate so hopefully he will be a goer for the Gold Cup.
Peter is taking the Limo for its yearly sojourn with Barry at the helm, I feel for him as it will be a long day with passengers Walshy, Wanga, Noel & Adrian.
MAKE YOUR MOVE
Peter will have a meeting with Dion to map out its ongoing program.
CANDOUR
Had a great Trial and should be in line for a race very soon at Ascot.
NEW FOALS
More arriving each day. A new one from the Best Stallion - Fastnet Rock/Hifalutin. A georgous Filly from Yoedeller/Saxon. And more to come!! Eagerly awaiting the Fastnet Rock/Gambei foal to arrive.
WELL EARNED HOLIDAY
Owen is finally taking a break and flew to Bali. He certainly deserves a good break, it has been full on for him since taking over the reins. As Peter says - all the staff do a wonderful job and support Owen.
THE AMELIA PARK FLU
Peter is finally recovering after a month of sickness, but sadly others on the Farm are now suffering, its a nasty one.
ROB WILEY SETTLES IN
Peter said Rob has now settled in at Carlton and all is progressing well for him. We can't wait for the Season to begin and give our full support to Rob.
THE HOUSE
Carpets going down, Furniture going in - getting C L O S E R!!!
ANNUAL BUSSELTON SHOW
Peter is taking Jessica and friend to this weekends Show. I hope he goes in the day and not the night!!! I will see how many rides he went on.
AMELIA PARK IS LOOKING LUSH AND PICTURE PERFECT.
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND and look forward to next weeks report.

UPDATE THIS WEEKS NEWS
Hi folks, I have actually just heard from Peter so will continue with his News. He is still recovering from his illness which I think is taking its toll - but he is a soldier!
SYDNEY
Peter, Brian and John had a great couple of days at both Arrowfield and Coolmore. They were treated like KINGS Peter said and were very impressed with the magnificent Breeding eg. High Chapparell, Fastnet Rock, Duke of Marmalade to name a few.
They then visited with Chris Waller who is training 2 of their Horses. Again they were impressed with him and his set up. Peter is looking forward to a long association with Chris.
The topic of conversation for the trip obviously was HORSES and Peter said you would swear they were all EXPERTS- it must have been humorous to have listened in, especially after their many wines!!!
AMELIAS DANCER
NORTHAM CUP CONTENDER
Peter said Dancer is in excellent condition and looking forward to that race.
RIO MOONLIGHT
Peter did say the race was disappointing and will probably bring the horse home for a while and maybe try in Bunbury - wait and see!!
THE HOUSE
Its really getting close, the end of next month and the good thing is Peter won't have far to move his gear.
GUESTS
Peter is looking forward to having Peter and Neville from Esperance stay at the Farm. They are both friends and Business clients, supplying the Abs with 50,000 lambs per annum. So it will be a nice change for them to come here and visit.
M0NDAY MORE GUESTS
More clients will arrive from Saudi Arabia to stay on Monday and Tuesday.
Unfortunately Peter is still suffering from his illness so I hope he gets a lot better real soon.
GREG WALSH NOW DOING A PETER WASLH!
Peter's brother and business partner Greg has just arrived home from Europe after a lengthy stay and informed Peter that he is off again soon to Mauritius. Peter said the tables have turned and he will now hold the fort at work!!! We all think it is very amusing!
Look forward to next week folks!

OUT OF SICK BAY
Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News from Amelia Park.
SYDNEY - RETRY VISIT
Peter finally got over his hellish time of being sick and flew to Sydney on Sunday. Unfortunately I haven't caught up with Peter yet but I am sure he would have been chuffed with the visit to Coolmore and seeing some of the Foals.
I will catch up with Peter and get a full report on his trip and other News for this following weeks Report.
RIO MOONLIGHT
SYNDICATE HORSE
Ran on Wednesday but wasn't in the finish. More news to follow on decision for this horse.
All is well at Amelia Park, lots of spraying, weeding (urggghhh), fertilising, getting all the reticulation in readiness for the Summer, and the list goes on. But the Farm is looking so picturesque. The paddocks and lush and the horses are in heaven! The trees are getting their new growth (the Weeping Willows are the best)!!! So all in all - its just the best.
Have a great weekend and look forward to full report next week.

2 NEW FOALS AT COOLMORE
Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News from Amelia Park.
TRIP TO COOLMORE
Peter will try again and leave this weekend to fly to Coolmore to inspect his Mares and the 2 newcomers
out of High Chapparell and Duke of Marmalade. Next week 2 more are due to foal from Fastnet Rock. It's exciting to see new life coming from Good Stock.
AMELIAS DANCER - BLOSSOMING
At home at the moment and has been having a ball, he is in excellent condition and raring to get back on the track. Dion will take him back to Perth to prepare him for the Northam Cup at the end of the month.
SYNDICATE HORSES
MAKE YOUR MOVE
Dion reported that at this stage there are no suitable races so has sent him home on a big high and will enjoy being back in the paddock for a few weeks, well deserved.
RIO MOONLIGHT
The report on Rio was good, a big improvement on its first run. Rio is in good nick and will nominate for the next week or so and see what length race would be the best option.
RUBUACORI
Having a big spell, up to its knees in feed and looking good.
PRANKSTER PETER
For people that know Peter will appreciate his antics. On the weekend of AFL Grand Final Day when Rob Wiley, Phil Matera and families were at the Farm, Peter had told all the children that there was a bomb scare announcement for Amelia Park and said they must all be out of the house at 1pm. The kids made sure they were outside and sure enough at 1pm a plane circled and then swooped on them several times sending them screaming and running in all directions whilst Peter was chuckling inside. His good friend John the Pilot was also chuckling.
WHAT IS THE OLD SAYING "IT COMES BACK TO BITE YOU"
Sure enough after that weekend Peter came down with the FLU!!!!! and went on to SHARE IT WITH ANNIE!!!
I can't rave enough about the Farm, it is looking fantastic especially watching the horses having a wow of a time in the lush paddocks - SPRING IS THE BEST!!
Enjoy your weekend everyone
regards
Shelley
