ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE



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



ANNUAL RACES WITH THE BOYS

Arthur is being prepared to ferry Peter, Wanga, Noel and Adrian to Ascot on Saturday.  Peter said it is a long day but a great day.  The esky is opened in Capel on the trip up and closed at Amelia Park on its return.  Sunday is usually a WRITE OFF.  This has been happening for years and I do think it is getting harder as the years roll on, but of course they love it.

EUROSUN
RACE 5
Has drawn the last Barrier so GOOD SIGN, BAD SIGN, WHO KNOWS.  This horse doesnt have much luck its way so LETS HOPE FOR THE BOYS THAT LUCK IS ON THE TRACK IN THIS RACE.



WINERY
Peter is very happy with the progress of the Cellar, all on track, all approvals given and looking towards November for the opening.

NOT SO FOR NEWTOWN HOUSE
RED TAPE, RED TAPE, Peter said it is very frustrating with the time frame in Australia with approvals.  He cant see anything happening for months and months and then it is with the Licencing Court, so another long wait.  He estimates 12-18 months before an opening.



THURSDAY LUNCHEON
Peter is looking forward to having Darren McAuliffe down on Thursday, its always a great catch up.


NEW BOSS PROVING EXCELLENT
Peter commented that he is chuffed with Sara, she is certainly working the horses and staff and bringing new clients to Amelia park.


BIRTHDAYS
Glenn celebrated on the 9th with Peter and Annie, very sore heads the next day and it was a great night.  Thanks Peter we can always count on you to celebrate hard.

Abbas celebrated his day on the 17th and I know you wouldn't have had a sore head Abbas.

Leia is coming to the Farm this weekend so it will be an all girls weekend.

The Farm is looking lush and green not to mention the WEEDS!!!!!!!


Enjoy your weekend everyone.
