He Loved Race Days



VERN WALSH

PASSED AWAY

3RD DECEMBER, 2012.

BEST OF THE BEST



FOUNDER OF AMELIA PARK 



Peter is very saddened with his Fathers loss but he is also very proud that Vern watched the transformation of Amelia Park into what it is today and it is an Honour to carry on the Name of AMELIA PARK.  

Vern enjoyed visiting the Farm looking over the horses, watching them on the track and chatting to the Staff. 

He did celebrate his 80th Birthday with a wonderful Luncheon at the Tavern some 7 years ago.

He also didn't miss any Social Gatherings at the Farm (there have been numerous), he especially enjoyed the Annual NIGHT UNDER THE STARS.

PETER SENDS HIS THANKYOU AND GRATITUDE TO ALL HIS MANY FRIENDS WHO HAVE CALLED AND SENT MESSAGES.

VERNS FUNERAL WILL HELD

ON SATURDAY 8TH DECEMBER AT

THE BANTRY CHAPEL

ON BUSSELL HIGHWAY

AT 10.30AM 

  

THE MOVE

Hello and welcome everyone to this weeks News from Amelia Park


OFFICIAL MOVE
Peter will arrive back from Sydney today and excited that he will move straight into his NEW HOME.  It does look unbelievable and hopefully will get to have a peek soon.

PETER WE ALL WISH YOU EVERY HAPPINESS

IN YOUR MANSION

8 YEARS IN THE MAKING

It has been a long road since the days when Peter would pace out and show us where his home was going to be built,  can't believe it has finally finished and Peter can now RELAX AND ENJOY.

Peter gives 100% credit and thanks to his Builder - Noel on doing a fantastic job.  I think his car will continue to drive to the Farm every day after the job is complete. 

Peter also gives a huge thankyou to all the Local Trades people that have carried out such professional workmanship.

FORMAL FAMILY DINNER

Peter has invited his Family for a Welcome Dinner on the weekend to help in the celebrations.

His very good friend David Rodwell and Rita have been invited as they are visiting from Overseas. 

It will certainly be a Special Affair.

AMELIA PARK WINE LUNCHEON

AT JACKSONS

Another great day was had by the large crowd at this quality Restaurant.  The food was exquisite, prepared by Neil Jackson, you can only try and imagine what work goes into creating  his delicacies which were  accompanied by Amelia Park Wines.  

It really is a special treat when dining at JACKSONS.

AMELIA PARK

UNDER THE STARS 

Will again be in March wherein Peter puts on a fantastic night with live music.  I will keep you informed as the months go by.

MARK WILSON TURNS 60

Peters very close friend and partner in thoroughbreds invited Peter to his celebration day at the Brewery.  It was a beautiful setting and Peter commented that the food was outstanding and a great day was had.  I don't think he really felt like flying out to Sydney.

AMELIA PARK

Peter said all the horses are well into their pre-training programs and some will start racing in about 4 weeks.

Enjoy your week and this lovely rain and look forward to reporting next week.

Shelley

         

AMELIA PARK WINE CLUB LUNCHEON

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks news from Amelia Park.

JACKSON'S RESTAURANT
This Friday we have the Luncheon for Amelia Park Wine Club.  What a fantastic day it is, Neil Jackson serves up an unbelievable Feast to compliment all the Wines.  Our mouths are watering just thinking about it.  Peter is looking forward to hosting a relaxing day.

SONGBURG  
Peter reported that after seeing Songburg he is so excited for its upcoming campaign.  He has never seen this horse look so magnificent and is very confident that Songburg will triumph.

The Stables are reporting that they are extremely busy getting the horses to the track, I believe a 4.30am start from now on - You will certainly beat the Sun.   I don't envy you at all!!!

SYDNEY
Peter is flying to Sydney for Monday and Tuesday Business Meetings with Adrian.
Lucky the trip is short as he is very busy getting all those final touches done to the House. 

EXAMS, EXAMS
Samantha and Lea will be jumping for joy after their University Exam's finish in the next week.
It will be time for some relaxation at the farm for them.  We hope you both succeed.

FLU HAS LEFT AMELIA PARK
Peter thinks he can safely say that the dreaded Flu, which affected one and all, has finally left us.  It certainly takes hold for quite a time - SO WE ALL SAY GOOD RIDDANCE.

ITS A QUIET WEEK IN THE HORSE WORLD FOR AMELIA PARK so with that I look forward to reporting next week.

DAY SPA & MASSAGE

DON'T FORGET A LOVELY CHRISTMAS GIFT VOUCHER IS A GREAT IDEA TO SPOIL HIM AND HER.

Shelley


  

ALL HORSES IN PREPARATION

Hello and welcome everyone to this weeks News from Amelia Park.


AMELIAS DANCER
Didn't get to the line this time, he has had a wonderful campaign so its home for a well earned long rest.
Look forward to having you home Dancer!

CANDOUR
FIRST UP RUN, bit disappointed as Peter thought it would have got over the line with the distance. As with most 2 year olds it is mostly just more time and maturity.

Peter said it will be quiet now for a month or so as all the Horses are home and in preparation for their campaigns for Summer.

PERTH SURVIVED - ASCOT RACE DAY
It was a very long day by the time Arthur (Limo) made his last drop off on Saturday night.  I don't know how many of them fell out!!  A great day was had apparently!!! 

SYDNEY BOYS VISIT TO AMELIA PARK 
Peter really enjoyed catching up with Percy, Graham and Jim who made a great effort and came over and stayed a few days.  The camera was worked full time as they looked over the Horses.  They have a vested interest in quiet a number of horses with Peter and the Syndicate.

I THINK SUNDAY IS THE DAY
The cars will be making quite a few trips back and forth on Sunday to the NEW HOUSE.
HOW EXCITING - WE SINCERELY HOPE ALL GOES TO PLAN AND YOU ENJOY YOUR FIRST NIGHT AND WAKING UP TO A BEAUTIFUL OUTLOOK OVER THE DAM.


Enjoy the rest of the week everyone and look forward to reporting next week.
