ANOTHER FIRST ON THE BOARD

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


TONTO
FIRST
FANTASTIC WIN
Peter was thrilled with this win, Tonto made the line with time to spare.


HUE & CRY
THIRD
Thought he would have done better on the day.


ABBASSO
Disappointing, not quite there yet, back to the drawing board.

DELAMBRE
NORTHAM 26/10
Missed the Mark!


PANTS ON FRIAR
Should get a run on either Saturday or Melbourne Cup Day - will keep you posted.
By all accounts she should go well.

HIGH SEAS
RANDWICK MELBOURNE SHORTLY
Looking for a 1800m race.  He is a top colt and REALLY WORTH FOLLOWING. Trainer Bjorn Baker is keen.

EUROSUN
Simon has sent him home for a rest, few hiccups with getting bitten by spider etc.  He has won 2 from 2 so break will do him no harm.


AMELIA PARK
Peter is pleased the new Treadmill has been completed and is up and running.  Another great asset for Amelia Park and the horses.

HALE SCHOOL BOYS
Peter had a great weekend catching up with his old school buddies.  He said it was a very late night but as usual Peter performed his hosting duties by the size of the aching heads on Sunday.

BALI
Annie left for Bali today with friend Gail to oversee some new furnishings etc.  Peter will have to batch for a few days.

GRAND FARM
Peter is spending 2 weeks with Dustan from Grand Farms, showing him how things are done the Aussie Way.  Dustan is taking control of the Grand Farm Investments in Australia and New Zealand.

Jeremy and Danielle returned home from Paris and had a wonderful relaxing time.  Good to see them home safe.


WINERY
The Wine Making facilities on track and should be ready for Xmas for operation.  Then work will begin on the Wine Tasting Building.



Happy Racing everyone

Not sure about this one, His mind is not on the job but on the girls, after this campaign may have to be gelded - he really needs to stop squealing in the Barriers!!!!



HOME FOR A SPELL
Don't know how long this spell will be!!!

He really enjoyed the break in Bali and spending time with the 2 youngest.  Leia has made him very proud with Distinctions in her work, she certainly works hard.

Jess has returned to school and is set for a hard last term coming up but will also do Peter proud as previously achieved.


WINE MAKING FACILITY
This should be finished next week and then the Cellar Door works begin.  It looks to be on track for the opening in Spring next year.

NEWTOWN HOUSE
Jobe & Sam are working hard and doing great work there, and again a Spring opening is on track so far.


MINA had a ball in Bali and is now back to work.  Call for an Appointment to be pampered.

Peter enjoyed a visit from Brian Bradley and Ken Whittaker on Sunday checking out the horses and TOOO MANY REDS I BELIEVE!!!!
That's what happens when you spend an evening with Peter at the Farm!!


Enjoy your weekend everyone and this glorious weather while its here  -  Apparently!!!
