Welcome to this weeks report.
FIRST - REPRISAL
At Sandown 12/5
Very very pleased with Reprisals run, a 1st up over 1700m and carrying 58.5kg on a dead track, can't ask for more. Jockey Brad Rawiller has ridden Reprisal twice and had 2 wins so it certainly seems that this horse is more than happy with Brad on his back.
TIME FOR BLACK
Ran an encouraging race under Pricey so it will be interesting to watch the races to follow.
MASTER SECRET & AMELIAS GLORY were very disappointing in their race.
A QUIET WEEK OF RACING THIS WEEK, if anything is accepted tomorrow for this week I will send thru.
PETERS APPRENTICE JOCKEY
KEVIN BOHORUN is doing extremely well and is currently in Kalgoorlie gaining more experience. He is certainly enjoying his riding and we look forward to his future racing with Amelia Park.
AMELIA PARK
Peter is still recovering and should be back to form by the end of the week hopefully. He did enjoy his weekend with Rob Wiley who came for a weekend getaway at the farm.
AMELIA PARK WINES
Peter is thrilled with the result of the White & Reds that his Winemaker Jeremy has just began bottling. They did quite a bit of sampling on the weekend and Jeremy is more than pleased with the result.
AMELIA PARK WINES WILL BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC IN AUGUST, MORE INFORMATION TO COME.
WE CERTAINLY ENJOYED THE RAIN THAT CAME OUR WAY OVER THE WEEKEND.
Watching the foals frolicking is a heartwarming sight.
I look forward to reporting next week with happenings at Amelia Park.

NEVER GOING BACK
Welcome everyone, another week flies by and still no rain.
Not a good week in Racing last week.
Ms Chief Bound was scratched in Canterbury owing to lameness with chipped bone which explains the poor run last start. The horse will be operated on today and hope for a good result.
HOPEFULS THIS WEEK
BELMONT WEDNESDAY
MASTER SECRET - RACE 1
AMELIAS GLORY - RACE 1 - This race will be looked at seriously for the future of this horse.
TIME FOR BLACK - RACE 8 - Looking forward to see if this horse has lifted under the training of Pricey, hopefully Blacky has taken to the new environment.
Good luck Pricey.
SANDOWN - WEDNESDAY
REPRISAL
Back for a campaign, we hope the horse performs well under David Hayes today.
AMELIA PARK
Peter has just returned from Ghana with his words IM NEVER GOING BACK .
Peter has been helping to train 40 people to bring to Australia to firstly, assist in his business here and also give these people some quality of life. It has been tarnished by a very sad experience over there. Peter's Manager was arriving in Ghana a few days after Peter and was to be picked up at the Airport. As soon as he come thru Customs the Police stopped him at GUNPOINT, took him to the Police Station and basically threatened him with jail if he didnt give them all of his money. A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR HIM. You only hear and see these happenings on television. IT MAKES US APPRECIATE HOW LUCKY WE ARE LIVING HERE (HOPEFULLY IT WON'T CHANGE).
Peter has also come back ill so we all wish him a speedy recovery.
Its all go at the Farm but we are starting to pray for some rain, I personally am waiting for the creek to run again. The Cockatoos are having a field day in the gum trees, luckily they are so wasteful, there are hundreds of honkey nuts untouched everywhere so we gather them up and pass them onto our Aviary Birds which they really enjoy getting their beaks into.
Enjoy your week everyone and look forward to next weeks report.

THE SOUNDS OF THE
FARRIERS HAMMER
RINGS THRU THE STILL MORNING AIR
Welcome everyone, isn't this weather just to good!!
NORTHAM - 2ND
RED TIME RUNNER - Rob Wiley, Coxy and other Eagles Owners went to Northam and watched a good race. Unfortunately the horse got struck on the leg thru the run but did well at the end.
DISAPPOINTING RESULTS
MASTER SECRET, BLACK HABIT, MS CHIEF BOUND
Back to the drawing board for preparation of their next races.
NOMINATED - SATURDAY BELMONT
RED TIME RUNNER & MASTER SECRET
I WILL POST DEFINITES TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK.
BIG BREAKFAST RADIO - On my daily tune-in I listened to Dion Luciani talking to David Shortte & Wes Cameron and Dion spoke very highly of Peter Walsh and Amelia Park and how the horses enjoyed coming home for a rest, he felt it certainly gave them an added freshness. He was looking forward to Red Time Runner coming to the City to see his performance. Well done Dion and good luck.
OVERSEAS
Sorry Peter couldn't send his report thru this week, the phone reception where he travels to and from isn't always compatible with here so I will have double the news next week.
AMELIA PARK
The trucks and loaders are back in force daily. The new Dam and Golf Driving Range is fully under way. Brett Walsh is also working there and we have teed it up that Honey & Missy (our dogs) will be trained to fetch all the balls that go astray into the dam, I think they will be very busy and we will certainly need a lot of buckets of balls.
All else is progressing well at the farm, all the stables are overflowing and keeping the staff extremely busy with lots of overtime happening.
Enjoy your week and look forward to sending a full report next week.

OFF AGAIN
Peter has had his piece of quiet and now returns overseas at the end of the week on a business trip to Ghana which Peter said is all coming together nicely.
AMELIA PARK
Glenn had the pleasure of meeting Bruce Barker and his wife from Sydney who are in the Syndicate and travelled out to the farm. Glenn played tour guide for them and they were very impressed by what Peter has created here.
As per the above Picture (thanks Glenn), the farm looks absolutely beautiful at this time of the year, and YES THE CREEK HAS WATER, not flowing yet especially if this perfect weather continues, but soon enough.
WELCOME BACK
Annie and family arrived home and said it was a wonderful trip home to China to catch up with family and friends. I reminded her its now BACK TO WORK!
Thanks everyone and hope you enjoy this week and happy Punting!

AMELIA PARK BIRTHDAY BASH
Welcome everyone and we hope your weekend was a winner for you.
A QUIET RACING WEEK
Peter reported that a lot of the horses are gearing up for returns, it was just one of those quiet weeks. Looking forward to the turn around.
ASCOT - WEDNESDAY
AMELIAS GLORY - RACE 2
Hopefully the horse can perform well and be at the finish first.
TIME FOR BLACK
Nothing suitable around at the moment so may look at a 1600m race.
EUROPA POINT
Had a small operation on the niggling knee so some rest for this terrific horse.
REPRISAL
Just around the corner for its return.
MASTER SECRET
Lou sorting out a few problems to see what is suitable for this horse.
AMELIA PARK
STAFF CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY BASH FOR ABBAS
We had a great night celebrating with Abbas in Dunsborough at an Indian Restaurant - Indigo Pearl, compliments of Peter. Abbas was in his element ordering a fantastic meal for the table of delectable tastings from his Homeland. We drank Amelia Park reds and whites which was enjoyed with the excellent food. We all hope you had a great night Abbas.
BELATED BIRTHDAY WISHES
OOPS! SORRY GLENN - ALL THE STAFF WISHED YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREETING ON THE 9TH.
Peter spent a quiet weekend at the farm doing his stint of babysitting Leah while Annie is away in China, I think they both quite enjoyed the time together. It all changes this week with Leah returning to school and Annie arriving home, all back to normal.
Thats the end of pinching the chook eggs and vegetables.
GOLF DRIVING RANGE
Has begun so I am looking at new golf sticks and buckets and buckets of golf balls for everyone.
My apologies for the late report, I was waiting for photos of the Birthday Bash but have had a hiccup with downloading so hopefully will have ready for next week.
Have a great week everyone and HAPPY PUNTING!!

FANTASTIC V & V WALSH RACE DAY
Welcome everyone, we hope you had a great weekend.
V & V WALSH WEEKEND
Peter reported that the weekend was once again a success. Friday night at Jacksons Restaurant with Family and Management was as usual outstanding. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the top quality service and superb meal that Neil Jackson conjours up for this Annual event. A late night was had by quite a few I am told. Off to Ascot for the Saturday Races which I can't believe the EVANS CLAN cleaned up again. Peter was quite pleased with the days racing results, a winner would have finished the day off but - thats racing. I WON'T MISS NEXT YEAR!!!
MASTER SECRET - 4TH
BLACK HABIT - 3RD
CHINA BAY - 3RD
Good all round work from all.
RANDWICK
EUROPA POINT - 4th
MS CHIEF BOUND - 2ND IN TRIAL
Gai Waterhouse said the horse is coming along very nicely and should be ready to race in the next couple of weeks.
QUIET WEEK OF RACING COMING UP FOR AMELIA PARK
Dion Luciani has arrived at the farm to put some horses through early morning workouts and he will stay for a few days working with the staff.
AMELIA PARK
I don't know how Peter does it. After Hosting the weekend in Perth he then returned to the farm on Sunday with his Chinese friends and wined and dined them through the night. Then it was back to Perth on Monday for business. I think this week will be a quieter one for Peter. I am looking forward to playing host to Peter for Dinner for a change this week so he can relax.
Annie has taken a holiday to China with her daughter and Mother and we hope they are enjoying themselves catching up with family and friends. We are pinching all the chook eggs while they are away.
What a night of wind and rain here in the South West . It was certainly a great start to filling the dams and creeks, but the wind is not welcome with all the cleaning up that is required.
I hope everyone enjoys the rain and have a great week ahead.
