Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News.
THE WEEKEND BEGINS:
JACKSONS FRIDAY NIGHT
Peter and Greg host Management a fantastic night at Jacksons Restaurant with 1st class, mouth watering delicacies prepared by Neil Jackson. It is a huge night but I do think a few now get to bed a bit earlier than in past years as the next day is the Races.
ASCOT RACES SAT 28TH APRIL
ANNUAL MANAGEMENT & SPONSORSHIP DAY
This Annual event is a highlight of the year wherein a lot of guests get to really enjoy the very best there is to offer. The Raffle draws will certainly be different this year, WANGA won't be there to win every prize so someone else will get a turn. Looking forward to a WONDERFUL DAY.
We all wish Wanga the very best, I believe he comes out of hospital today so it will be a gruelling 6 weeks on crutches, so everyone LOOK OUT - he won't be too happy. i must get the RIGHT STORY from you Wanga - some hint of a Shark/Dolphin!!!!
EMILY WILEY'S WEDDING
Peter said he immensely enjoyed the celebration of Emily's Wedding Day. The Bride looked stunning and Rob was beaming with pride. Peter had a great time catching up with some of the boys. I think he was a bit quiet on Sunday.
VISIT FROM COOLMOORE
Peter is looking forward to showing Amelia Park to Peter and Shane from Coolmoore. It is their first visit here so all is ready for them as well as the top shelf Reds at the Cellar together with a juicy Steak will make Thursday night LARGE.
STABLES
A number of new kids on the block that have gone into Pre-Training so hopefully in the next 3 weeks or so we will see some at the Track - we can't wait.
PADDOCKS
Still waiting for the Rains so the Paddocks can be sowed, they thought last week but the weather has tricked us again.
We hope you enjoy your Weekend - as we will!
regards

CANT STAY HOME
Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News Update.
OFF AGAIN
Peter did arrive home but will fly out again tomorrow for Melbourne (he must have a RESERVED seat!!) so luckily I did catch up with him today for some news. He is only away for a few days on business.
SYDNEY EASTER SALES
Peter spent a great couple of days in the company of Brian Bradly and John Ciprian (funny he always has long days/nights when away with these 2 great friends.
They were pleased to sell ENCOSTA DELAGO/MAROONED LADY for $375,000 and also retained a share so with Chris Wallace as the Trainer they are looking forward to a great career. It is also a great boost for the money that is being injected into the Sydney Racing Fraternity.
WEDDING BELLS
Peter is looking forward to the Wedding of Emily - Rob Wiley's Daughter, this weekend and said it should be a fantastic event and will enjoy catching up with the boys.
GET WELL WISHES
Unfortunately WANGA had a nasty accident and will be laid up for quite some time with a broken pelvis. It is certainly a lot quieter at the farm, we are all missing his cheeky face and quick wit.
WE ALL SEND OUR VERY BEST WISHES FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY
AMELIA PARK
TO MUCH FOR 1
Peter has taken some pressure off Christy and divided the workload. Owen will now be in charge of the Racing and Christy will handle the paddocks and also the Breeding Horses. It is working well.
HORSES RESTING
The horses are all very restful at the moment and will get in added bonus by the paddocks being fertilised and sowed beginning this week to co-incide with the first rains - yes yes yes!!!!
1 HORSE THAT IS STANDING OUT IS - SONGBIRD - Peter and Staff are very confident this horse will perform well by its efforts at the Farm.
MASSAGE & DAY SPA
We can't say enough about Vicki and her great Massages. Her workload has increased twofold since advising current and new Clients that she is available 7 days a week.
"THE" HOUSE
Is coming along in leaps and bounds and is looking magnificent. Not to long away now.
BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY MESSAGE
My apologies to GLENN - the Staff sent you Happy Birthday Greetings for your 60th on the 9th April. He did say people tend to forget you when you hit 60. So sorry Glenn.
I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful weather while it lasts and look forward to sending our report next week.

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.

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.
