Nope but then will we see a recant from the virtual online trainers?  Yeah na!

Well it didn't take long for the Toxic Trio to put the boot in.

Mark Walker is currently in the top 10 of the Victorian Trainers Premiership - 3 Metro wins.  9 in total.  With a strike rate of more than 27%.

I might add that contrary to rumour Te Akau only have 46 horses at Cranbourne NOT 100.  15 of Maher's 36 were at Metro.  21 of them are Country wins.  But let's not let fact get in the way of the toxic narrative.

Haha, ignoring facts is the home ground of toxic narrativists

Yes my understanding is that they have 60 boxes at Cranbourne.  You need spare as a buffer for a number of reasons.  The banging on by one individual about the numbers reported on the NSW Racing website is nothing to do with stable returns.  Any intelligent being could put two and two together and understand that it is system error.  It has been well reported that the OZ State and NZ jurisidictions have a data sharing and update issue hence the major IT development project underway to fix it.  But no let's create another conspiracy!!

So you have a conspiracy theory that some who know the facts about Vic stable returns are some how themselves conspiring to mislead people about that when it has nothing to do with any system error nor is it related to data transfer between NZ and Oz. I thought you'd grasped that a while ago but here you go again with yet another conspiracy theory.

Yep another deflection.  No answer to the questions I posed but...

No I said that there were known data transfer and updating issues between the State and NZ administrators.  That's a fact not a conspiracy. 

Yet you adhere to the theory that the reason why Melody Belle (never trained by Mark Walker) still appears on the NSW Racing website of horses in Mark Walkers care at Cranbourne is because he hasn't filed or updated his returns.  Your conspiracy is that he, Ben Gleeson and/or Te Akau central administration are incompetent when it comes to filing their paper work.  

The fact is not only is the NZTR system a mess but as is the Australian systems.

You still don't get it. It has nothing to do with the NZTR system, zero, zip, zilch. Ask any Vic trainer.

Notice @hesi Curious is now using another creating a false narrative technique.

I'll use it now too.  You still don't get it @curious .  Melody Belle being on the NSW Racing site list has nothing to do with Mark Walker (or Te Akau), zero, zip, zilch.

BTW Melody Belle was never at Te Akau's Cranbourne stable and on its last visit to Australia it was in NSW for 2 weeks or less.

At the end of the day, a small group of people have got their hooks into TA over the Brazen Affair sale.  I couldn't be bothered following the ins and outs of it, so I won't comment.  This however quickly progressed onto pulling to pieces DCE his wife and then MW and his capability as a trainer.

Then the business ethics of DCE and TA (would love to see the blowtorch turned on some and their own business affairs and see how they like it)

Then it was suggested they would be calling it quits at the Cranbourne site

Then a small number of unhappy former owners joined the fray

Then a few posters who were doing nothing more than passing hot air about the future of TA etc etc.

They will probably win the Premiership again this year, although Stephen Marsh is giving them a good run.

It won't matter because they have already got their hooks in and will try to attribute any success they have. to other factors.

As I have said, it doesn't reflect badly on the people being lambasted but those throwing the mud.  Anonymous mud I might add.

Other factors like what? You've either trained a horse and it won or it didn't

Don't worry @Shab, it's just the conspiracy theorists creating another distraction to the topic.

I take it you are still working on your list of my conspiracy theories which you don't seem to have come up with yet.

Don't post your insipid rubbish either.
