OH THOSE PRESSURE POINTS

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News.

I do apologise for the lateness of the Amelia Park News, I have been back and forward to Perth and Peter has also been to Perth and also this week in Bali, so it has been difficult to catch up with Peter.

REMINDER TO ALL
MASSAGE & DAY SPA
The reports I personally have received from visitors to Amelia Park all say that Vicki is certainly worth return visits. THE PRESSURE POINTS that are worked on (if you want, or you can just have a normal Massage) they have found very helpful - with my list of pressure points to work on I can see I will have to have double time.
Vicki can be reached on 0405267302 to make your booking and come away feeling great!!

DIFFICULT 2 YEAR OLDS
Peter said when you have a bad run it continues. BUT after many discussions and meetings with Lou & Dion - they are going back to basics and both businesses will endeavour to revamp and go thru each horse and make decisions to get back on track. The 2 year olds are always difficult with injuries etc when in their learning years, but in this WONDERFUL GAME OF RACING - YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD.
PETER IS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE GOOD RETURNING!!!! AS IS EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH AMELIA PARK!!!

EASTER SALES IN SYDNEY
Peter is looking forward to these Annual Sales. He has 1 horse he hopes to sell at a top price, that will certainly help during these quiet - no winners - periods.
ALL THE BEST WITH THE SALE.
I did mention to Peter that it is SALES and not PURCHASES for him in Sydney.!!!!!

Everyone enjoy your weekend and look forward to a pre Easter report next week.



regards

ANOTHER BUSY WEEK

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News Update.





RACING


BIG DAY ASCOT SATURDAY 17TH


2 SYNDICATE HORSES RACING:


DREAM MERGER & RUBACUORI


Adrian reported that these 2 need to run in the top 2 of their races to get a start in he Group 2 Karrakatta Plate. A large number of Syndicate Owners are travelling up to Ascot (unfortunately I can't go) but I know they will all be cheering them over the line.


Peter said he may be able to make it depending on commitments.






E N J O Y AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL !!









BUSY WEEK



Peter is enjoying having Darren stay over, and now Rob Wiley and Michael Brennan have arrived for a few days. They are going to the Bunbury Cup so I am sure the Cellar will get a good work out tonight!!






FIRST DAY AT POPPYS

Peter said it was great having COSTA for the day BUT HE SLEPT THE WHOLE TIME - JUST LIKE POPPY (Mum was pleased), enjoy it while it lasts Tegan.






WELCOME TO AMELIA PARK



NEW MASSEUR



We welcome Vicki and Yo Yo to the Day Spa. Peter has already had 2 massages and highly recommends Vicki, "VERY GOOD ON THE PRESSURE POINTS". Vicki has 10 years experience so the hands know exactly where to go.



You can ring and arrange an appointment with VICKI on the same number as Peggy had 0405267302


STABLES

Kristy has returned from her well earned Holiday in Phuket, after a day back - " its as if you haven't been away". Aleece has travelled over to Bali for a few weeks to organise her Visa so she can return to trackwork here, we hope it all falls into place for her. Wanga is now on holidays so with 2 down its all in together.


TRIP HOME

Annie's Mum is returning home to China for a few weeks holiday to catch up with family and friends. We will miss her delivery of fresh picked fruit and vegetables every other day. I will have to find where her baskets are hidden!!


NEW ADDITION UNDERWAY

The Bowling Green is starting to take shape. Peter and I are discussing colours and names for our Bowling Outfits!!!!!! Can't wait.


Everything at Amelia Park is just great, everyone happy and everything flourishing - WE ARE LUCKY!!



ENJOY YOUR RACING EVERYONE and look forward to posting all the GOOD Results and news next week.

THE STARS OUTSHONE THEMSELVES

Hello and welcome to this weeks News Update.





NIGHT UNDER THE STARS

AMELIA PARK SYNDICATE
What a fantastic night it was. The night was perfect (as always when Peter has a function at the Farm), a great turnout of people and those magnificent STARS.


THE BAND WAS FANTASTIC - you couldn't help but dance as they played all our Music from the 60,70,80 & 90's. A Big THANKYOU TO THEM and also to Peter for again organising a great night.





REPRISAL - BUNBURY
Wasn't a disappointment, he definitely needs a good couple of months free time at Amelia Park and then into preparation for the next campaign. He is a great horse and there will be more wins in the future.





COSTA IS HOME
Peter announced that his Grandson has arrived home safely to Amelia Park. Brett and Tegan must be thrilled to be finally home so they can settle into being new Parents. I will be straight up there tonight for a cuddle. ENJOY YOUR NEW BABY!
Peter said the name was apt - Costa (he will costa lot in the coming years) - good one Poppy!!

RACING - BUNBURY
AMELIAS MOMENT - RACE 2
Peter is very much looking forward to this race, should show some good form here.

RIO MOONLIGHT - RACE 1
Peter and Syndicate Owners will be excited to see Rio on the track

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

NEXT WEEKS RACING
MONDAY TRIAL - MAKE YOUR MOVE (SYNDICATE)
ASCOT SATURDAY - RUBACUORI (SYNDICATE)
CHARGE FORWARD - PETER IS VERY EXCITED TO SEE THIS HORSE HIT THE ASCOT TRACK.


Peter enjoyed a night with his good friend Lee (Mayo's Last Dancer), first to Drinks with the Governor and then onto Jacksons for Dinner. Lee has been asked to be THE CO-ORDINATOR FOR THE BRISBANE BALLET so it was certainly a special celebration.

NEXT WEEKS DIARY
Once again Peter will play Host each night - Darren McAulay and Wes Cameron will visit on Tuesday followed by Rob Wiley and Michael (monkey) Brennan on Wednesday and Thursday, they are coming down for the Bunbury Cup so that will be a LONG DAY TO END OFF AT AMELIA PARK.

FAREWELL TO PEGGY & IVAN
It is sad to see this lovely young couple leave Amelia Park to return to Taiwan. Peggy will be busy up to the day she leaves - Massaging til dark. We will all miss her strong hands especially the track riders who go each week to get relief.
We all wish them the very best of happiness.

Fortunately there is 2 new Staff for the Massage/Day Spa so we are lucky as it will continue on as before.



BEST OF THE BEST

2012 WINE WISE CHAMPIONSHIPS

AMELIA PARK CAB MERLOT WON BEST

BORDEAUX BLEND


This Award is for ONLY THE BEST that have won previous Awards so PETER IS ECSTATIC AND VERY PROUD. Read more on the Amelia Park Wine Website.



I look forward to reporting next week AND HAPPY RACING EVERYONE!
