Hi everyone and welcome to another weeks report.

EASTER HOLIDAY

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.

We all have the most enjoyable day at this Annual Function and much thanks goes to the generosity of PETER & GREG WALSH.

EASTER GREETINGS

Hi everyone and welcome to this weeks report.

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

RAIN RAIN COME AGAIN

Hi everyone and welcome to this weeks report

GREAT DOWNPOUR
We had the most wonderful rain here last night, you can virtually see everyone smiling and lifting their heads to clean off the dust. The horses had a great time this morning in their paddocks.
Lets hope it continues a bit longer.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Peter returned from his trip with the kids and had a ball. He really enjoyed spending time with Brett & Sammy and showing them Lindsay Park and introducing them to alot of his friends and associates. They visited some lovely places and did some wine tasting (quite a bit).

AMELIA PARK WINES
AT CAPE CELLARS - BUSSELL HIGHWAY, WEST BUSSELTON - FRIDAY 8TH APPROX 4-7PM.
If you are in the area, come and meet Sammy who will be offering Amelia Park Wines for tastings. There are some top drops and its a great opportunity to sample THE AWARD WINNING WINES from Amelia park - HOW MANY CARTONS SIR!!!

AMELIA PARK
There are so many Foals in the paddocks at the moment, you can be mesmerised by watching their antics as they frolic together and play chasy, I like picking the leader!
If they all run as well as they look Peter and Syndicate III will certainly be in for some racing fun in the future.

THE HORSES ARE GETTING TOP CAREDion sent a Manipulative Therapist(Mr Kelly)down from Ascot to work on a number of horses which gives the horses extra therapy for any problems they have. This proceedure apparently went extremely well and will continue.

BIRTHDAY WISHESWe all wish Glenn a very Happy Birthday for the 9th and hope he enjoys the get together at the Farm.

All is good, the weather is great and I look forward to next weeks report, THE RACING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!

SUCCESS AT PARADE DAY

Welcome everyone to this weeks News and Events Report.

I must apologise for the lateness but I have been experiencing problems with this Program but hopefully it will get sorted quickly.

PARADE DAY
SUNDAY 20TH MARCH

What a fantastic turnout for the Day. Prople from far and wide made the trip to inspect the Yearlings purchased for the new syndicate III. I did a head count and about 85 were in attendance which says a lot on low keen they are. Peter addressed the crowd and explained to the new Owners and interested parties how the Syndicate works and then handed the mike over to Lou and Dion. They both did an excellent job on introducing each Colt and Filly and their breeding and why they chose them. They all looked absolutely stunning on their parade and you could hear all the positive comments from around the ring.
it was certainly interesting learning how some of the horse world works.
I believe there may still be some Shares available So plese feel free to send us your contact details and I will have Lou or Dion contact you.

A Sausage Sizzle followed and we all celebrated with Amelia Park Wines and toasted each horse on its winning future. If only we had stopped - BUT NO - our Host once again spoilt the remaining guests by taking them to THE CELLAR. Need I say more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an evening it was, TOP SHELF CHAMPAGNE, TOP SHELF REDS, TOP SHELF CIGARES!!!!, some couples had to spend the remainder of the late night at the Guest House - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
You can certainly see how Peter so much enjoys entertaining and making his guests coMfortable. We thankyou Peter for the great day and night - but not MY HEAD!

RACING
AMELIAS DELIGHT
PINJARRA 24TH
Worth a look at Race 7 and hopefully Amelia can make a good showing. we know this horse can achieve, lets hope its now.

As per last reports the full Stables are flat out and we will keep you posted with upcoming racing campaigns.

BACK EARLY
Peters Builder of the BIG HOME - Noel Taylor had left for a 2 week Holiday away Fishing but Peter laughed when he saw Noel return after 1 week with "YOU COULDN'T STAY AWAY FROM THE HOME", I didn't hear Noel's reply but I do believe there is a story there.

OFF AGAIN
Peter has obviously everything in order as he said he is off to Adelaide to Lindsay Park and is taking Brett & Sammy over with him. I hear he is going to show them all his old haunts where he starred as a TOP FOOTBALLER in his heady days!!

MASSAGE & DAY SPA
I thought I would let you know the new Operating Days and Hours especially after this past weekend where Peggy's Diary was getting full for the upcoming months.
OPENING HOURS:
WED - FRIDAY - LAST BOOKING TIME IS 8PM
SAT & SUNDAY - LAST BOOKING TIME IS 6PM
A great idea is to get a small group of your friends and come and experience the great amenities including GYM, SAUNA, SPA, MASSAGES (THEY ARE AMAZING)- HALF,FULL - WHAT SUITS YOU AND DON'T FORGET THE FOOT MASSAGE!!,then relax with music, bring your drinks and E N J O Y.
SO CHECK THE DIARY AND CALL PEGGY - 0405267302
That also means my group of friends, lets quickly get organised!.

All the Fauna are excellent, 1 of our Alpacas (Nerillee) has had a good talking to. she keeps getting under the fence and into the Horse Paddock - luckily they don't mind her wandering around with them.
The Cygnets are growing at a steady pace, we are still feeding them am and pm, they are very friendly now and come right up to you and give a peck whilst preparing their feed.
All the birds are fantastic and I am still trying to get them to say AMELIA PARK as a Greeting - still a ways to go but some are certainly giving it a shot.

Thats a rap for this week so ENJOY and look forward to reporting our next news to you.
