Hi everyone and welcome to this weeks short report.
MY APOLOGIES READERS, I HAD THE REPORT DONE BUT WAS WAITING ON THE RESULT OF GUYNO'S WIN AND THEN FORTGOT TO POST THE REPORT. LUCKILY ONE OF OUR READERS MADE ME AWARE OF THE LATENESS.
PETER IS AWAY IN SOUTH AFRICA AT THE MOMENT SO I CANT GET ANY REPORTS FROM HIM. but will certainly bring everyone up to date next week.
Everything is progressing well at Amelia Park, the stables are overflowing and the riders are flat out, it is great to watch them handling a lot of the young ones, I give them full credit with their patience and skills. Definitely not for the faint hearted.
MORNINGTON CUP
GUYNO
WHAT A GREAT WIN
CONGRATULATIONS TO JOHN COURT & MRS RICHARDSON AND GREAT RIDING JASON.
We of course take alot of the credit as Guyno spends a lot of time at Amelia Park and the staff do an excellent job with his Pre-Training and preparation.
I hope to be reporting lots of great wins in the next coming months when the horses campaigns begins.
The Black Cygnets are growing at a rapid rate, we are only feeding 10 each day now so its great to see they are finding their wings.
I look forward to speaking to Peter next week and DONT FORGET 'NIGHT UNDER THE STARS' IN MARCH.
Have a great weekend!
regards
Shelley

WHERE DID JANUARY GO!
Greetings everyone, already into February - how fast time flies.
Welcome to this weeks report on Amelia Park.
RACING RESULTS
ASCOT 2/2/11
CHIRON - 3RD
Good run today and 3rd is nearly at the top, a tidy return.
AMELIA PARK
NIGHT UNDER THE STARS
I'm sure most attended this Fantastic Evening held last year and with Peters ongoing generosity he has planned another evening for the Syndicate Members in March. Don't forget the dancing shoes. It is a beautiful setting at the Amphitheatre and Farm at night especially with a clear sky to boot. Looking forward to it. Peter said that Aaron Sandilands from the Dockers Football Club will be attending, we will have to make sure he doesn't grab front seat because we won't have a view!! Also looking forward to catching up with Rob Wiley who will return for the event.
PERTH MAGIC MILLION SALES
Peter will be attending the Sales with 10 Horses going under the hammer hopefully. I told him to watch the nodding of the head when the BUYING BEGINS. I will hear the outcome on his arrival home. Lou will also be attending and looking closely at Horses to purchase for the new Syndicate III.
CHINA
Annies Mum left for China on the weekend to be home for celebrations of their Chinese New Year and catch up with family. We will be back to nicking the eggs and vegetables while she is away. Can't believe it was a year ago that the egg basket travelled each day to the pen.
SOUTH AFRICA
Peter leaves on the 14th for several days so the lead up to then is extremely busy for him so he will enjoy the ????? hours flight ahead.
BACK TO SCHOOL
Peter picked Lea up on the weekend from her home trip to KL. She has returned to School and hopefully she can perform as well if not better than her excellent results last year.
QUEENSLAND
What can you say, how unlucky for them to have experienced the floods and now this disastrous cyclone about to hit. IT IS JUST TO SAD TO HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.
We send them all our thoughts and good tidings that everyone gets through unscathed. We have been glued to the TV for all happenings, and wish that he peeters down before it reaches the coast.
WE ARE SO LUCKY HERE IN THE WEST - WE ARE GLAD OUR FOREFATHERS SETTLED HERE .
REHABILITATION BLACK CYGNET SWANS
Glenn reports that from the original 27 that were delivered in stages to the Farm, there is still 25 coming for their daily feeds. It is such a delight as they are getting more at ease with us and actually wait at the feed bin at the pond. They are gradually starting to explore and they are sighted at the various lakes on the Farm where they are learning to fend for themselves. It is both wonderful and sad that eventually they will fly away for their new beginnings BUT HOPEFUL WILL REMEMBER THE FARM AND RETURN NEXT YEAR WITH THEIR OFFSPRING.
I look forward to reporting all the happenings next week.
Have a great week everyone.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY
The Mail, January 26th 2011
GREETINGS EVERYONE AND A VERY HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY TO ALL, WE HOPE IT IS A GREAT DAY FOR ALL TO CELEBRATE OUR WONDERFUL COUNTRY AND I'M SURE THE TRADITIONAL BARBIE BREKKY WENT DOWN WELL.
BLACK SWAN REHABILITATION PROGRAM
Our Local Newspaper has published an article on Amelia Park about the rescue and release program it has undertaken. Peter is thrilled the Cygnets are enjoying their sanctuary and will continue to entice the flora and fauna here.
RACING
Red Time Runner - Its back home for Red for a rest and restart for the next campaign.
JESSICAS CHOICE
Should have a run next week and I will keep you posted.
AMELIA PARK STABLES
There are a lot of horses in Pre-Training and getting prepared for the Autumn Season and we look forward to some exciting racing ahead.
Peter enjoyed a visit from Brian Bradley, Ken Whittaker and Colin from the East who have several horses at the Farm. They were impressed with their lot and long discussions were had at the Cellar that night. I think a quiet morning for all!!
Peter is enjoying his last couple of weeks before he re-starts his normal yearly business ventures overseas in February.
We say goodbye to Peggy & Ivan who return home to celebrate the Chinese New Year Celebrations for the next 3 weeks. The massages and pampering bookings will have to wait until their return. I am FIRST off the rank.
ENJOY YOUR DAY AND LOOK FORWARD TO REPORTING NEXT WEEK.

AMELIA PARK CYGNET SWAN REHABILITATION
Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks report.
RACING THIS WEEK
ASCOT WEDNESDAY 19TH
JESSICAS CHOICE - RACE 1
Peter is looking forward to seeing how this horse performs on 1st up. Hoping it is a tidy run.
RED TIME RUNNER - RACE 2
Red should give a good performance in this race.
Good luck to both horses.
AMELIA PARK
Glenn contacted the Fauna Group on Peters behalf after seeing an article in our Local that the Cygnet Swans were in trouble and Fauna were looking for somewhere to rehabilitate them. After inspecting Amelia Park 9 cygnets were delivered and have been fenced in at one of the dams. They have been fed twice a day and some were released this morning. What a gorgeous sight to see them testing their skills. Fauna, led by Beverley, delivered another 6 today and also have been penned for a few days to build up their strength. Beverley said Amelia Park is ideal for them because as they mature there are several dams they can move to and in the hope that they, or some of them may make it their home.
The Newspaper will be here on Friday to catch them on film and an article about them.
We are all so excited to be able to assist and watch them learning to stretch and flap and eventually make their own way in life.
Peter is so chuffed, he has always commented that he would LOVE BLACK SWAN AT AMELIA PARK.
I will keep you posted with their progress.
I hope everyone enjoys their upcoming weekend and good luck with your horse racing folks.

SURPRISE SURPRISE
Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks report.
SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY
Peter had a lovely Surprise Party on Saturday Night. Daughter Samantha and Annie arranged for his family and friends to share his night which was a Movie Night Under the Stars. They had hired a huge Cinema Screen and everyone had a picnic in the Amphitheatre on a perfect night.
Peter was very moved with their effort and everyone did well in keeping it under wraps.
Our thanks for a great night.
ANOTHER QUIET RACING WEEK - Always this time of the year.
Amelias Gem will go for a spell, they still believe it can produce some good runs.
AMELIA PARK
Peter fare welled Darren McAulay and family, they have had a ball at the farm and were reluctant to pack their bags.
The Guest House I think will have a break for a few days - (apparently - we will see).
We certainly enjoyed the 40ml of rain last week, there is nothing like it, you can virtually watch everything grow. Now the hot weather has returned and its like it didnt happen.
A brief report this week so look forward to some news to report next week and I wish everyone who was lucky enough to be off during the Xmas/New Year break to ENJOY BEING BACK TO WORK like all of us.
regards
Shelley

WE WELCOME 2011
Hello everyone and I look forward to reporting all the Racing and Events at Amelia Park for the coming year. I hope it doesn't go as fast as 2010, definitely must have skipped a few months there.
Peter thoroughly enjoyed seeing in the New Year and he hopes everyone did the same.
RACING RESULTS
AMELIAS GEM
Didn't make the grade on the day, keep trying!
QUIET RACING THIS WEEK
Nothing on the books this week, all busy preparing for the next few weeks. I will report on the happenings next week.
AMELIA PARK
As per previous report, the cars just keep coming and going.
I don't think the GUEST HOUSE has been vacant yet.
Peter is wearing a path around the Farm showing all his different Visitors the Tavern, Aviary, Day Spa, Cellars, new home construction, golf driving range, not to mention all the stables and horses, he is having a ball.
The Tavern is being decked out for Friday night as Peter is hosting party for 30 odd friends and colleagues. A late one I am thinking.
WE ALL SEND PETER LOTS OF VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR THE 8TH AND HOPE HE CONTINUES HIS CELEBRATING ON THE DAY.
I hope you all enjoyed your Festive Season and look forward to reporting next week.
Regards
SHELLEY
