LOTS OF RACING AHEAD


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



HOME SAFELY

Peter returned home from London and Paris and straight back into it.

He enjoyed his relaxing time with the girls showing them all the sights but he is full of beans now he's home and says there is lots happening.

RACING:

EUROSUN
Unfortunately injured himself during his fantastic WIN.  Simon is sending him home straight away for recuperation and hopefully will return in about 4 weeks.

PETROLOGY
David Hayes is very happy with the work Petrology is undertaking, should be running in about 4 weeks and then aim for the Victorian Derby.

ABBASSO
Is spelling at the moment, well deserved after a great campaign, couldn't ask for any more from him.

SONGBURG
Justin reports Songburg is going well and not to long for a return.

HUE & CRY also should be back soon

LOTS TO LOOK FORWARD TO COMING UP IN THE NEXT MONTHS, AND HOPEFULLY ADD TO THE ALREADY 16 WINS SINCE JANUARY!!


THE NEW WINERY AND NEWTOWN HOUSE  

Both are coming together nicely.  Meetings this weekend at the Winery with Jeremy and the Architects just about finished with the drawings on Newtown House.  Great ideas coming thru from Sammi and Peter is very pleased with her work on it.


Peters last words   "GREAT TO BE HOME",  "WE ARE IN THE BEST PART OF THE WORLD".
HOW TRUE!!!



Enjoy your weekend everyone and look forward to next weeks Report.

GAY PARIE



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



MORNING MIST






FROM LONDON TO PARIS

Sounds like Peter, Annie, Leah and Jess are having the most wonderful Holiday.
The girls must be in heaven visiting all the wonderous places, let alone the SHOPPING.

They will be sad to be coming home later this week  -  BACK TO REALITY!!!



It has been a quiet week on the Horse front, so sorry but nothing to report until Peter returns.

Amelia Park Farm is busy as always, horses coming and going, babies learning the ropes from the oldies.

Gladly no more bad Storms but lots of lovely rain.


Enjoy your weekend everyone and look forward to a REPORT FROM PETER next week.

SATURDAY 28/6
F I R S T

Both now back in work so Peter is looking forward to their campaigns.

EUROSUN

SONGBURG is now with Justin Warrick and is confident.

SOME EXCITING RACING COMING UP.
 




HOME AND AWAY
Peter returned back from China and Mongolia on Monday.  A short burst back at work and then UP AND AWAY TO LONDON AND PARIS.  Holiday Time with Annie, Leah and Jesse, so again its him against the girls!!!  I hope Pete has organised extra Luggage for the girls, can you imagine the SHOPPING !!!!

The Wine Expo was a huge success, just as well Annie was there to promote Amelia Park Wines as not a lot of English speaking people were there.  I think Annie was horse by the end of it, big event for her.   






8 BABIES RETURN HOME
A paddock full of 8 have just returned from the Breakers.  They have a great time during the day, its fun to watch - one starts then they all follow galloping at full speed and just pull up at the fence in time, turn around and off again - it certainly puts a smile on your face.
NAMING OF THE BABIES.  Peter said if anyone has some names PLEASE SEND THEM IN IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED FOR THE HELP!!! 


WHAT A NIGHT
THE RAIN JUST KEPT COMING ALL NIGHT LONG.  
THE CREEK IS FAST FLOWING, THE DAM AT THE AVIARY IS FULL TO BURSTING AND THE OTHER BIGGER DAMS ARE ON THEIR WAY UP.  GREAT TO SEE.

THE NEW WINERY IS FULL STEAM AHEAD AND LOOKING GREAT.

NEWTOWN HOUSE IS IN THE PLANNING STAGES AND PETER IS VERY EXCITED WITH THE NEW LOOK he is going to create.


ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY PETER AND GIRLS!
