RAIN RAIN COME AGAIN

Hi everyone and welcome to this weeks report

GREAT DOWNPOUR
We had the most wonderful rain here last night, you can virtually see everyone smiling and lifting their heads to clean off the dust. The horses had a great time this morning in their paddocks.
Lets hope it continues a bit longer.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Peter returned from his trip with the kids and had a ball. He really enjoyed spending time with Brett & Sammy and showing them Lindsay Park and introducing them to alot of his friends and associates. They visited some lovely places and did some wine tasting (quite a bit).

AMELIA PARK WINES
AT CAPE CELLARS - BUSSELL HIGHWAY, WEST BUSSELTON - FRIDAY 8TH APPROX 4-7PM.
If you are in the area, come and meet Sammy who will be offering Amelia Park Wines for tastings. There are some top drops and its a great opportunity to sample THE AWARD WINNING WINES from Amelia park - HOW MANY CARTONS SIR!!!

AMELIA PARK
There are so many Foals in the paddocks at the moment, you can be mesmerised by watching their antics as they frolic together and play chasy, I like picking the leader!
If they all run as well as they look Peter and Syndicate III will certainly be in for some racing fun in the future.

THE HORSES ARE GETTING TOP CAREDion sent a Manipulative Therapist(Mr Kelly)down from Ascot to work on a number of horses which gives the horses extra therapy for any problems they have. This proceedure apparently went extremely well and will continue.

BIRTHDAY WISHESWe all wish Glenn a very Happy Birthday for the 9th and hope he enjoys the get together at the Farm.

All is good, the weather is great and I look forward to next weeks report, THE RACING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!

SUCCESS AT PARADE DAY

Welcome everyone to this weeks News and Events Report.

I must apologise for the lateness but I have been experiencing problems with this Program but hopefully it will get sorted quickly.

PARADE DAY
SUNDAY 20TH MARCH

What a fantastic turnout for the Day. Prople from far and wide made the trip to inspect the Yearlings purchased for the new syndicate III. I did a head count and about 85 were in attendance which says a lot on low keen they are. Peter addressed the crowd and explained to the new Owners and interested parties how the Syndicate works and then handed the mike over to Lou and Dion. They both did an excellent job on introducing each Colt and Filly and their breeding and why they chose them. They all looked absolutely stunning on their parade and you could hear all the positive comments from around the ring.
it was certainly interesting learning how some of the horse world works.
I believe there may still be some Shares available So plese feel free to send us your contact details and I will have Lou or Dion contact you.

A Sausage Sizzle followed and we all celebrated with Amelia Park Wines and toasted each horse on its winning future. If only we had stopped - BUT NO - our Host once again spoilt the remaining guests by taking them to THE CELLAR. Need I say more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an evening it was, TOP SHELF CHAMPAGNE, TOP SHELF REDS, TOP SHELF CIGARES!!!!, some couples had to spend the remainder of the late night at the Guest House - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
You can certainly see how Peter so much enjoys entertaining and making his guests coMfortable. We thankyou Peter for the great day and night - but not MY HEAD!

RACING
AMELIAS DELIGHT
PINJARRA 24TH
Worth a look at Race 7 and hopefully Amelia can make a good showing. we know this horse can achieve, lets hope its now.

As per last reports the full Stables are flat out and we will keep you posted with upcoming racing campaigns.

BACK EARLY
Peters Builder of the BIG HOME - Noel Taylor had left for a 2 week Holiday away Fishing but Peter laughed when he saw Noel return after 1 week with "YOU COULDN'T STAY AWAY FROM THE HOME", I didn't hear Noel's reply but I do believe there is a story there.

OFF AGAIN
Peter has obviously everything in order as he said he is off to Adelaide to Lindsay Park and is taking Brett & Sammy over with him. I hear he is going to show them all his old haunts where he starred as a TOP FOOTBALLER in his heady days!!

MASSAGE & DAY SPA
I thought I would let you know the new Operating Days and Hours especially after this past weekend where Peggy's Diary was getting full for the upcoming months.
OPENING HOURS:
WED - FRIDAY - LAST BOOKING TIME IS 8PM
SAT & SUNDAY - LAST BOOKING TIME IS 6PM
A great idea is to get a small group of your friends and come and experience the great amenities including GYM, SAUNA, SPA, MASSAGES (THEY ARE AMAZING)- HALF,FULL - WHAT SUITS YOU AND DON'T FORGET THE FOOT MASSAGE!!,then relax with music, bring your drinks and E N J O Y.
SO CHECK THE DIARY AND CALL PEGGY - 0405267302
That also means my group of friends, lets quickly get organised!.

All the Fauna are excellent, 1 of our Alpacas (Nerillee) has had a good talking to. she keeps getting under the fence and into the Horse Paddock - luckily they don't mind her wandering around with them.
The Cygnets are growing at a steady pace, we are still feeding them am and pm, they are very friendly now and come right up to you and give a peck whilst preparing their feed.
All the birds are fantastic and I am still trying to get them to say AMELIA PARK as a Greeting - still a ways to go but some are certainly giving it a shot.

Thats a rap for this week so ENJOY and look forward to reporting our next news to you.

Its a shame if you couldn't make it WHAT A SENSATIONAL NIGHT WAS HAD. Peter did a quick head count and stopped at 250. The evening was perfect in every way, LITTLE SISTER BAND rocked, lots of dancing, laughter and drinking. A few of the young ones tried to match it with Peter but at 4am they submitted. A bit more practice boys!!
Peter was grateful to LITTLE SISTER for again donating their service, he cant thank them enough.
Some of the guests also asked me to THANK PETER for again putting on a fantastic night for everyone.
Peter was chuffed that Rob Wiley and his Family were able to make it and stay for the weekend. There were a few LATE NIGHTS and LATE MORNINGS I noticed.

DAVID RODWELL - SECOND TO NONE

Hi everyone, welcome to this weeks report.


BACK FROM SOUTH AFRICA
Peter has arrived home safely, just takes a day or 2 to adjust. I don't think I would ever adjust after his wonderful experience.

WHAT A FANTASTIC TIME WAS HAD. Peter, Annie and friends Peter & Terri were absolutely TREATED LIKE KINGS & QUEENS during their stay. DAVID & RITA RODWELL, Peter's long time friends, were THE MOST AMAZING HOSTS, Peter said you would have to have been there to take in THE GENEROSITY LAVISHED ON THEM. IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL TIME AND UNFORGETTABLE.
Peter was amazed as he said David & Rita's Palatial Home is like a Hotel where they are entertaining Visitors that can arrive anytime from early AM and also late in the PM and they included them in everything and from that Peter has met and made some wonderful and interesting new friends.
LEAD BY DAVID'S Busy Schedule for their visit, they were treated to a SUPRISE with Tickets to the U2 CONCERT, they had the BEST TIME.
Then they followed on with a BREAKFAST AT TABLETOP MOUNTAIN. I can only imagine that. EVERY DAY WAS SPECIAL TO THEM.

Peter also enjoyed catching up with JENNIFER, David's Sister who he has a long standing friendship with.

Peter also spent time with other good friends RAYMOND & ANNIE who have a Home at the world renown CLIFTON BEACH in Capetown. Again they were lavished upon, especially an evening where they were treated to a Traditional Braai and Magical Music from an African Band, Raymond's Home actually protrudes over part of the Beach, again Peter says it is hard to paint a picture. Unfortunately Raymond is quite ill but in saying that - 'Their Doors are Always Open'.

On the Business Side of Things - Peter explored the avenues available for a possible STEAKHOUSE in the future. So that will be another exciting venture for him.

WHAT WONDERFUL HOSPITABLE FRIENDS PETER HAS.


THE SHOOTOUT just outside their Hotel CERTAINLY DIDN'T DAMPEN THEIR UNIQUE EXPERIENCE - BUT DOES KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES!!!!!! Peter said.

AMELIA PARK
WEDDING BELLS
Peter has generously offered good friend and Partner/Manager at V & V Walsh - Paul Crane, Amelia Park to hold his Wedding to Christine.
We all wish them a HAPPY WEDDING DAY and I'm sure with the weather as it is Amelia Park will make a splendid venue for them all.

Peter unfortunately has to say NO to all the many enquiries he has for functions here. He can only allow close Friends and Family Members the use of his amenities.

AMELIAS DELIGHT
FIRST UP WIN - WHAT A SLASHER IN THE 1400m RACE.
Peter was thrilled with the performance and excited about the coming months racing.

REMINDER - 'NIGHT UNDER THE STARS' SATURDAY 5TH MARCH
For AMELIA PARK II & III SYNDICATES.

D O N ' T M I S S T H I S G R E A T N I G H T
SYNDICATE III HORSE PARADE DAY & SAUSAGE SIZZLE MARCH 20TH
Peter is looking forward with the upcoming Syndicate. He says the horses that have been chosen have some great Bloodlines so will be exciting to see them come thru and hopefully give the Syndicate a great showing.
Peter has also said that people who are not necessarily in the Syndicate but would be interested in seeing the Horse Parade ARE MOST WELCOME.
SO FOLKS - COME ALONG AND ENJOY THE DAY!
AMELIA PARK WINES - G O L D G O L D B R O N Z E
Peter is ecstatic that 2 GOLD for the CABERNET MERLOT and SBS have been awarded at the SYDNEY ROYAL WINE SHOW, together with a BRONZE for the red MISHMASH. Peter gives all CREDIT TO JEREMY. He had the Top Credentials when Peter went into Partnership with him winning othe coveted Awards AND HE STILL CONTINUES WITH THE TOP RESULTS
Peter said the CABERNET MERLOT which was also JUDGED ON TOP INTERNATIONALLY HAS WON MORE MEDALS IN ITS FIRST YEAR THAN A GENERAL . It has nearly Sold Out so a good time to get a Carton or 2 and put away (yes put away) AS A LIMITED EDITION it will certainly make for pleasing the palate in the future.
TONIGHT'S DINNER AT AMELIA PARK
Peter is Hosting a Dinner for Dion Luciani, Jason Whiting and Clint Harvey, I THINK HE WILL BE TELLING THEM HOW TO RIDE WINNERS BY THE END OF THE EVENING!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy your Weekend everyone and look forward to reporting next week.
WE SEND ALL OUR PRAYERS AND HOPE FOR THE PEOPLE OF CHRISTCHURCH
