GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

OFF TO CHINA

Annie reported that it was snowing in Beijing at the moment so Peter has packed the odd coat or two.  He will be busy travelling around and out to the country areas catching up with his business clients for the next 10 or so days.

GRANDSON TURNS 1

Can't believe that Costa is 1, he is growing up so fast, keeping Tegan and Brett very busy.

They celebrated with a sausage sizzle at Meelup on the weekend, he was spoilt - OF COURSE.

STILL MORE TO COME

We had Dinner with Peter last evening, I thought the House was complete, but Peter said there are still more Paintings and Furniture to arrive.  My goodness I will have to have another Tour!!!

ENJOY YOUR RACING EVERYONE.

HORSES, HORSES, HORSES EVERYWHERE

Hello and welcome to this weeks News from Amelia Park.


BACK FROM BALI
Peter returned Sunday from one hot place to another.  He said he achieved all he had to do and had time for a relax, so back and raring to go.

RACING
This is what we are here for!!!

RIO MOONLIGHT
BUNBURY RACE 5
THURSDAY 14TH
He has drawn an awkward barrier but the good news is his fitness is great.   Dion said to have a change and can get a 3kg claim by using our old employee and great friend of Amelia  Park - Kevin Bohorun.  Kevin is on a winning streak with 2 wins at Ascot and leading Jockey at Bunbury.  So everything is set for a great run.

BUNBURY TRIALLS  -  WHAT A DAY IT WILL BE!!!
FRIDAY 15TH
SYNDICATE HORSES
RUBACUORI,  PANTS ON FRIAR  AND  SPECIAL HARVEST
AND
BARELY RICH  -  PETERS HORSE
I think there will be a few Owners there to cheer all the horses over the line.

SONGBURG
ASCOT SATURDAY 16TH - RACE 6
Peter is looking forward to seeing how this lovely Filly performs over the 1000m.

DREAM MERGER
TRIAL ASCOT
MONDAY
This horse coming along nicely in his preparation, still big and chunky so a Trial will give a good view of how many weeks away from starting.

MAKE YOUR MOVE 
Unfortunately scratched on Saturday.  All signs were good up until Saturday when rider said after a prep run he had a runny nose.  Vet has put him on antibiotics and will keep an eye on him and see after a week if it has cleared up.


BIG 35 YEAR CELEBRATION AT THE FARM SATURDAY
FOR ADRIAN 
V & V WALSH & WOOLWORTHS will help Adrian celebrate this wonderful achievement in his career.  Woolworths have certainly been lucky in having Adrian on their team for so many years.
Peter said the Syndicate is very fortunate to also have Adrian involved as he is passionate and he puts a 100% Voluntary effort into the Syndicate.  He is always at the Farm early on the weekends to watch all the horses and forever taking photos. 

Peter said  " Adrian was a devout Golf Player until the day I introduced him to Horses.  He hasn't touched a golf stick since."  

PETER AND THE STAFF AT AMELIA PARK WISH ADRIAN

A WONDERFUL DAY OF CELEBRATION

WE ALL ENJOY HIS VISITS AND CHATS 





   

LATE NIGHTS
Peter  bought Annie's friend Jade back from Perth on Sunday who arrived from China, I don't think they have hit the bed before midnight each night.  The weather and setting is glorious for sitting outside on the Lake at Peter's house. 


ENJOY YOUR RACING AND HOPE WE HAVE SOME GREAT RESULTS FOR ALL.

BEN & KYLIES DAY AT AMELIA PARK

Hello and welcome everyone to this weeks News from Amelia Park

THE WEDDING DAY
Peter was thrilled   - 
The weather was perfect, THE SETTING WAS PERFECT, everyone had a wonderful time.
THE BRIDE WAS BEAUTIFUL.  Peter sends his CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM FOR A HAPPY LIFE. 

Pre Wedding Evening:
Peter invited the Brides maids to his House for pre wedding day drinks, unfortunately the Champagne flowed very freely and they all got each other very drunk INCLUDING PETER.   Don't you hear that so often!!!!!!!!
But as all good soldiers, they fronted up for the Wedding in good form.


RACING:
REPRISAL
What a shame, such a magnificent horse, in top notch condition, loves the beach, enjoys his pre training but just doesn't seem to want to race on the day.  Peter said maybe another run and then decision time.  Reprisal has been a great horse for Peter.  

MAKE YOUR MOVE 
SYNDICATE
All at the Farm are expecting a good showing.

SYNDICATE HORSES TRIALLING NEXT WEEK
We will keep you informed,  everyone is getting excited and they are looking in good shape.

BALI
Peter flys to Bali tomorrow for 4 days to organise some maintenance and business, so not really a holiday for him this time.

FRIEND FROM CHINA
Annie is excited that her good friend Jane arrives for 10 days.  Peter said he obviously won't see much of Annie in that time and will have to batch for himself, I hear Jessie can cook!!!


DROPPED BY FOR A CUP OF TEA
Alex Trott made the fatal error of calling to see Peter on a late afternoon last week.  Alex presented Peter with a beautiful Painting his daughter did for him.
The kettle was boiled, then the tea bags sat in the cups for hours.  Instead the Bourbon appeared. Two Bottles later Alex staggered home and told Dallas his wife - WISHED HE HAD SENT THE PAINTING BY COURIER.  DALLAS REPLIED --  "YOU WERE TANGLED IN WALSHY'S WEB".

OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB

 WALSHY WEAVES AT TIMES!!!

Enjoy your week everyone and look forward to reporting next week.
