STARS OF THE FUTURE



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



EUROSUN
Came in a tidy 2nd.  Lets hope the Winner in the next run.


SATURDAY 20TH
CAULFIELD - RACE 1
PETROLOGY
Very excited with this run, Damien Oliver jumping on the back so hope that is a good sign.



3 BABIES
Beautiful Foals, 2 here and 1 over East, all from very good stock.  Hopefully they will all shine in the next few years.




JESS OUTSHONE
Peter and Annie went to watch the Netball Grand Final, which Jess's team won.  I think a bit biased but they did beam that Jess played a major part in the win.

Jess has also been asked to compete in the State Hurdles so she is progressing in the sports category exceptionally well.  Mum and Dad chuffed for her.


HIGH TEA
Annie put on a lovely afternoon at the house.  Jennifer and Lyn from South Africa, Leah, Mamma, Annie, Mina and myself -  nice gathering.   The cup of tea was lovely but the MOET THAT FOLLOWED !!!!!!!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME


Pete is loving being home for a couple of weeks, can't believe the suitcase is empty.


All the trees are starting to shoot and the Farm is looking amazing with this Spring Weather.


Enjoy your week everyone.

Shelley

SPRING TIME



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

I certainly hope this gets published, not like last weeks problems!!



What a beautiful site at the Farm, best time of the year.




SAD TIME
AMELIAS DANCER
Unfortunately at the last race Dancer had thumpers so its time for a WELL EARNED REST, home to the farm to enjoy.  Dancer has been a great horse and Peter is more than happy with past earnings AND GIVEN LOTS OF FUN  -   SO ENJOY!!


PETROLOGY
EUROSUN
Both running next week so I will keep you posted.


PICKIN TIME  (FASTNET ROCK/GAMBEI FILLY)
MOONEE VALLEY -  SAT 6TH, RACE 6
This is the horse Peter sold and by all heresay it should be an absolute winner.


1ST BIRTHDAY FOR DAKOTA
We can't believe she is 1 already, how time flies.  We had a lovely Party at the Tavern on Sunday, Brett and Tegan put on a lovely afternoon and Dakota had us all enthralled with her antics, what a cutie!!!


GOOD FRIENDS AT THE FARM
David Rodwell, his wife Rita and Sister Jennifer spent the weekend with Peter at the Farm and plenty of WINE was had by all.  It was great that David's visit from South Africa fell on the same weekend as we all got to see them at the Party.
Jennifer is staying on for a time so will be great company.


NEWTOWN HOUSE




 A GREAT READ IN THE LOCAL WITH PETER VERY EXCITED WITH HIS PLANS ON NEWTOWN HOUSE,  THE LOCALS WILL BE CHUFFED.
ANOTHER WINNER FOR PETER.


A BIG THANKYOU
I must tell you all that I was so excited last week, Peter took me to HIS BOX AT THE EAGLES, it was wonderful to watch our boys win the game and see COXY play his last game at Home (apparently).  The Box is fantastic and especially being spoilt as I was.

Peter is looking forward to spending some time at home so he can get his teeth into the Winery and Newtown House and hopefully some relaxing time!!!!



Enjoy your week everyone.
