GREAT NIGHT

Hello and welcome to this weeks News Update.

STAFF DINNER
We had a great night on Saturday, Peter organised a Dinner at our local Chinese Restaurant, the food was outstanding and the wine and spirits flowed,  They in fact continued to flow into the wee hours with some of the staff carrying on.  A few sore heads so I am told.

WE THANKYOU PETER FOR YOUR GENEROSITY      

RACING
AMELIAS DANCER will probably make a showing next week.

REPRISAL
HAS TO IMPROVE!!!  
Very disappointing, Peter said 'didn't even look like trying', has pulled up sore so tests are being done to try and find a WHY! 

BUSY WEEK
Peter has a full week  -

Tuesday         -  Breakfast with David Parkin (top class Football Coach)
Wednesday   -   Fly to Esperance to catch up with Clients (also good friends)
Thursday       -  Dinner with Rob Wiley and Michael Malthouse (wish I was going tooo)
Saturday        -  Relaxing Day at the Races with group of friends.  Shame nothing is running this   
                          week.

WANGA STILL AWAY FROM WORK
Wanga said unfortunately he wont be returning to work as thought, the damage caused is still not recovered so it will be more tests. If you know Wanga then you can imagine how frustrated he is!!!

Glenn returned to work this week after 2 weeks break and  Ruth is now on leave for 10 days.  Always someone coming and going !!


Enjoy your weekend everyone and same time next week.

HOME FROM BALI

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


BELMONT RACES
SONGBURG - 3RD
Didnt make the grade this week.  Pleased with the run against good horses. Peter is more than happy with Songburg's performances so home for a well earned rest and return for the Spring campaign.

AMELIAS DANCER
Wasn't disappointed.  1st up run coming back from a long break, had a beautiful run home and much better things to come.

RACING THIS SATURDAY
BELMONT RACE 3
REPRISAL
Its all getting exciting times now on the track.  Peter is really looking forward to seeing Reprisal return.

SYNDICATE HORSES
Looking good, some will be starting their campaign in the next couple of weeks and everyone is eagerly waiting to spend time at the races. 


BACK FROM BALI
TO MANY WOMEN IN THE CAMP
NO MALE BACKUP
Peter is usually pretty good but I think the women got the better of him, he just couldn't do all the shoppathons, instead left them to it and made good use of the pool and massages.
Jesse unfortunately didn't see much daylight, 2nd day in the flu struck so she was bed ridden for most of the time.  She has rallied but now given it to Annie.  Hope you recover quickly Annie in time for Saturday.
Speaking of Massages, Peter said there is no place like home for his MASSAGES.  Vicki  is doing a wonderful job in keeping Peters continual back problems in order.
Make sure you ring in advance to book Vicki, its hard to get in, especially when Peter is home.
 

CHRISTMAS IN JULY
Peter is treating the staff to our Annual Dinner on Saturday Night, and I am looking forward to it.  Peter always comes up with a delicious Menu.  It will be great to catch up socially with everyone. We can also celebrate Abbas & Elise being full timers of the team at Amelia Park with their Visas granted.

WANGA IS WAITING
He visits the Doctor tomorrow so hoping for good report and find out when he comes back to work.  He will certainly get a rousing cheer on his return (and a long list of jobs).

CHEERS TO THE STAFF
Peter said all the horses in the Stables are looking outstanding and gives full credit to the staff in their dedication to the horses.

"THE HOUSE"
Everything is on track and it is looking fantastic.
Peter said just as well his horses are having a winning time and keeping him afloat as the pockets have been very empty of late.

THE FARM IS LOOKING OUTSTANDING   -     GREEN PADDOCKS, RUNNING CREEK,  HEALTHY  HORSES AND HAPPY STAFF.


Happy Punting everyone and enjoy your weekend.

TWO OUT OF TWO

Welcome everyone to this JULY News Update at Amelia Park.
My goodness June has already gone, Xmas is looming closer. 

SONGBURG  -  1ST
BELMONT SAT 30TH JUNE
PETER AND OTHER OWNERS WERE THRILLED WITH THIS GREAT WIN .  2 WIN FROM 2 OUTINGS - CAN'T DO ANY BETTER.
Peter did tell the the boys that this Horse was going to be a Winner.

A big thankyou to Dion, Lou and Owen for all the hard work and preparation that was put into this Filly.
They will now keep a close on her to see how she fares in the next couple of weeks for another run, but any sign and she will be bought home.

MADAME de AMELIA
Has been slotted in for Northam this week in Race 4.  Everyone is keen to see Madame perform.


PETER IS SHOPPED OUT
After a 2 day Perth Shopping Spree I don't think Peter will be revisiting for a while.  He was very pleased with the end result, with Annie beside him they certainly made hay while the Sales were on.  He said he is sure the cupboards and draws will be well stocked - I can truly believe that to!!!!!

Peter and the family leave next weekend, LADY GAGA is first off the rank, all the girls are looking forward to this, I think Peter will have a few quiet ones on his own that night.  Then Monday they are all off to Bali for FUN IN THE SUN!!  Very envious!!

VISA GRANTED - CONGRATULATIONS ELISE
Elise is thrilled that Peter has organised her Visa.  She returned from France yesterday and we all look forward to seeing her back at the Farm this week.  We will share a few ales with her on her return.


Have an enjoyable week everyone and look forward to our Report from Bali next week.

A GREAT WIN

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

Apologies for lateness but had my computer spiked and have only just come back on line - thats what happens down here in Winter!!!!

SONGBURG - NORTHAM
A GREAT WIN
Peter was thrilled to see Songburg get a win and congratulates all his good friends that are also Owners.
Peter gives a big thankyou to Owen who put a lot of effort and hard work in getting Songburg in fantastic shape. 

Songburg is listed to race at Belmont on Saturday in Race 1 - GOOD RACING!

MADAME de AMELIA may have a run in Northam next week.

Peter has a good feeling for the next 12 months with some really good horses at and coming to the track.
ITS TIME!!!

MARES HEADING EAST
Kristy has been busy getting the Mares all ready to leave for their respective Studs next week.  They are all going to top Stallions so the next few months will be eagerly watched.

FOUNDATION FOR JUNIORS
Peter had a hoot of a night with Rob Wiley returning to the Footy Club -  Peter said there is nothing like THE FRIDAY NIGHT MEALS AT THE FOOTBALL CLUB where all the Mothers prepared their meals - STILL THE BEST! It certainly bought all the good memories flooding back.

Peter enjoyed helping to raise money for the Foundation.

BEAUTIFUL REDS
Peter cooked us a meal this week and we enjoyed LAMB RACK together with some georgous Reds.  It certainly fools you as you don't realise the amount drunk until you stand up!!!  It slides down so so smoothly.  THANKYOU PETER FOR THE HEAD!!

JUNE SALES
Peter has taken off to Perth for a few days to do some serious HOUSE SHOPPING, he will be in his glory.

BALI FAMILY HOLIDAY
The Family will take off to Tanah Lot next week and enjoy beautiful weather.  I will ask Annie to bottle some and bring home.


Enjoy the rest of your week and happy punting!!!

A CALMER WEEK

Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks News Update.

CALMER WEATHER THIS WEEK
Which allows the staff to get a run at clearing all the debris from the Farm.

RACING:

NORTHAM - THURSDAY
SONGBURG  - RACE 1
Should be in with a big chance - has a good barrier draw.
Songurg left Amelia Park in beautiful condition so Peter is keen for a good result.

AMELIAS DANCER
Will leave the Stables this weekend and travel to Perth for preparation .  Should be running in a couple of weeks.

REPRISAL
Still at the Farm and going as planned.

TRACK OUT OF ACTION
The Farm track was out of action for a few days due to fallen debris and very soggy track.  But it wasn't a holiday for the horses.  They spent their trackwork time in the Walker, Pool and Round Yards.  I think they enjoyed a different routine for a change.  BACK ON TRACK NOW.

Peter is looking forward to the weekend in Perth.
He will be attending an event, guest of Rob Wiley, for the Foundation of Juniors Football.  He is a great friend of Rob's and loves Football so he will enjoy this outing.



Just to tell you again, the Farm paddocks are looking fabulous as is the whole Farm and the Creek is filling up fast. 

ENJOY YOUR RACING FOLKS!
