DANCED HOME
AMELIAS DANCER - F I R S T
SAT 11/6
What a FANTASTIC RUN, congratulations must go to Jason & Lou on a great race plan. To watch the race was joy and Dancer certainly danced on home. MORE TO COME!
BELMONT 8/6
BOTH OUTSPOKEN LADY & AMELIAS MOMENT were very disappointing. Still trying to work that out as they should have had a better result.
RACING BELMONT WEDNESDAY 15/6
AMELIAS DELIGHT - RACE 3
Peter is looking forward to some results from this horse.
AMELIA TIGER - RACE 5
Running reasonably well, gradually increasing over the distance.
TIME OUT ON THE WEEKEND
Peter spent a very relaxing weekend after arriving home from Singapore and then straight into entertaining for the rest of the week. The doors were all locked so he couldn't escape.
Another busy week has started and then he is off to the Eagles Match as a Special Guest and he is taking lucky Barry (his Driver) with him who is a diehard supporter, then flys out to Korea and Indonesia on business. He will enjoy the warmth away I'm sure.
DOWNPOUR
We certainly got what we wished for last night with receiving a huge downpour. Unfortunately we also got the severe winds so it is a big clean up with fallen trees, branches, and OH THOSE LEAVES. WE ARE EAGERLY WAITING AND WATCHING FOR THE RIVER TO START RUNNING!!
STABLES
Standing on my verandah I really feel for the Riders (and Horses)as I watch them starting out in the dark cold windy mornings. They are a truly dedicated bunch (and YOUNG).
HOLIDAYS
Our Stable Manager - Kristy leaves this weekend for a well earned rest for 2 weeks, jetting off to Phuket so she is making us very aware of what attire has been packed for this trip (bathers etc) lucky thing. ENJOY YOUR BREAK.
RETURN FROM CHINA & BALI
Sammy returns today from doing errands for Peter in China and Bali with great results. Tegan also returns today from Bali - can't wait to hear their stories!!!
AMELIA PARK SYNDICATE NO 3
All the horses are being educated and they are all coming along nicely according to Dion who spends a great deal of time of them. They are a hoot to watch in the paddocks when frolicing about.
BIRTHDAY WISHES
BRETT WALSH
We all look forward to having a Birthday Cheer drink with Brett on Friday and hope he enjoys his weekend of celebrating.
That wraps the news for this week and look forward to advising updates next week.
Regards to all
Shelley ( GOOD LUCK MIKE! )

WEEKEND VISITORS TO AMELIA PARK WILD LADIES OF THE WEST
Nice to see you on CAMERA - DIANNE, we believe and heard that a great wet weekend was had by you and your group. The Massage and Day Spa was THE PLACE TO BE SEEN! Peter said they had such a great weekend it will take them quite a while to be able to repeat the performance.
Thankyou to the Ladies of Perth and Busselton that rang for more details on the LADIES PACKAGE at the Day Spa, it is a great place and way to relax and enjoy a day with your friends. Please feel free to ring Annie or email for more information.
Peter is chuffed that he has been invited to give a talk on his Business Life at the University in Mt Lawley this week. I did mention not to get off the BUSINESS TRACK to Peter as he has had a very INTERESTING LIFE!!!
HOLIDAY TIME FOR STAFF
We wish Tegan a great Holiday in Bali, she certainly deserves it after having full stables for months.
I am also off for a week, to Melbourne with a group of Ladies so a few late nights I THINK!
Sammy is off to China to deliver Wine Samples on Peters behalf and then stopping off in Bali to meet up with Tegan, also a few late nights I THINK!
Thats all the up todate news so enjoy your weekend and look forward to sharing next weeks news with you.

STILL RAINLESS
As you know Peter is still in China and wasn't able to make contact for his report.
He apologises and will make up for it next week.
Still quiet on the track but going by the Stables being crowded and the staff working overtime it wont be long now for some of them to be leaving and being prepared in Perth for a showing.
We can't wait to see them on the track as they are fantastic to watch going thru their paces at Amelia Park.
The Morning tea chatter at the Stables is everybody organising their annual holidays, going to Bali, Phuket, Melbourne to name a few - I think the wages Peter is paying MUST BE GOOD.
Everything is fine here at the farm, lots of spraying being done OF THE UNWANTED WEEDS while the sun is still shining and getting all those jobs out the way before THE RAIN APPEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BIG HOUSE
Yet another roof has just been finished and it is all looking awesome. I can't wait for Peter to give me the run down on the Designs he has chosen for all the Interiors of the House.
I still think I could have helped if he had taken me to China with him!!!
A GREAT BIG HUGS & KISSES TO DENISE HENCHE
From reports received from the Family, Denise arrives home today with all good news. We are so happy for her and wish her a SPEEDY RECOVERY. I hope she has a bell next to her bed so NURSE NEIL CAN TEND HER EVERY WHIM.
ANOTHER BABY ON THE WAY FOR RYAN & JEMMA HENCHE
We all send our best wishes on his safe arrival in a week or so and isn't that just the best medicine for Denise.
Enjoy your week and look forward to Peter's Report next week.

THE EVANS CLAN CLEAN UP
V & V WALSH RACE DAY & JACKSONS RESTAURANT
The Weekend started for Peter on Friday where he Hosted 75 Guests of Management and Family members to an unbelievable Feast of Tastes prepared by Neil Jackson. My order to Peter was to bed by midnight BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
SATURDAY WAS RACE DAY
What another fantastic day was had. The weather was perfect, the venue was perfect and THE SERVICE AND MEAL WERE OUTSTANDING.
Peter sends his warm thanks to the TURF CLUB for again looking after their 120 Guests IN A VERY PROFESSIONAL MANNER . IT WAS A TOP DAY.
All the Ladies looked very glamorous and I have to say the Men looked very handsome in their Suits.
We were pleased to see SOME of the Guests OTHER THAN THE EVANS CLAN collected Prizes throughout the day but the FINAL DRAW FOR A DREAM HOLIDAY TO BALI staying at Tanah Lot with your own Chef, Driver and Massages each day was WON BY WANGA EVANS. The crowd shouted for a re-draw but Peter held fast and declared Wanga the Winner.
I have told Wanga that I am available at a date that suits him!!
OUR THANKS AGAIN TO PETER & GREG FOR THIS MAGNIFICENT ANNUAL EVENT.

AMELIAS DANCER & AMELIAS TIGER
Ready to return to the track in about 3-4 weeks. Peter is looking forward to their campaigns and is confident they will succeed.
CHINA
Peter and Annie leave for China on Thursday. Peter is also taking his Interior Designer to help in the choosing of Furniture and Fittings for the BIG HOME. I would certainly love to be there looking at all the beautiful Showrooms but Peter obviously missed my hinting at him ALL WEEKEND - do you think!!!
AMELIA PARK - DAY SPA
Peggy & Ivan have been inundated with work these last weeks. The Ladies, and quite a few men, have been returning for Massages and the works, and the word is spreading on how good Penny and Ivan are at their profession. I hear the new Lotions and Products are dreamy so will be making my booking when there is a spot available. MAKE YOUR BOOKING AND ENJOY!!!
OH THOSE AUTUMN LEAVES
The various tree types all over the Farm are looking resplendent as they go thru their seasonal cycle, it is a beautiful time of the year here BUT WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE CREEK TO FILL!
WARM & BEST WISHES

Everyone here send our beautiful warm wishes and LOVE to Peters Sister Denise who will be having an operation tomorrow. We hope it will be a speedy recovery for her.
Thats a wrap for this week and I look forward to sharing happenings from here to you next week .

CONGRATULATIONS RON BEACHAM
WINNER ALBANY CUP - DOUBLE BARREL
What a great Win for Ron Beacham, Double Barrel did Training at Amelia Park and has just arrived back and I am sure the stable staff will be giving this winner great treatment.
Peter had a relaxing Easter break at the Farm, did some entertaining but he said on the whole it was great having a quiet time and enjoying being home. That has now come to an end as he flys out to China next Thursday for approx. 12 days.

EASTER GREETINGS
ITS THE EASTER BREAK AGAIN, CAN'T BELIEVE I AM SAYING THIS, BUT DOESN'T THE YEAR GO QUICKLY.
AMELIA PARK
Peter is staying put this Holiday Period but very busy entertaining, Friends coming from right left and centre every day. I think Peter will need a holiday after the Holiday. Mind you he is a good stayer.
REPRISAL
Peter is re-assessing its future in Melbourne. Unfortunately Reprisal started like a train but has gone by the wayside so a decision will have to be made.
V & V WALSH RACE DAY
SATURDAY 30TH
All the Frocks and Suits are being aired for this Annual Event. It is the most fantastic day where we get spoilt with silver service and entertainment all day.
Peter will definitely have to find some way of stopping WANGA AND THE EVANS CLAN from collecting all the PRIZES. Its amazing how every year they have the MAJORITY OF COLLECTS. We all certainly give them a hard time.
AMELIA PARK SYNDICATE III
Peter is very happy with the start of this Syndicate. All the horses purchased have now been broken in and will return to Amelia Park to start their future of Racing and hopefully give the Syndicate Members some fun and excitement on their Race Days.
PETER SENDS ALL EASTER GREETINGS TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND HOPE YOU HAVE A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE LONG EASTER BREAK.
I also send Easter Greetings to everyone. See you here next week.
regards
Shelley
