Why did Trent McEvoy leave?

[Andrew James]

you can ask him when he appears with his next "new" account, if you are able to spot it that is

Wait, why would somebody want to leave 1,000 horses behind and start over? That sounds horrible! Plus he had some valuable horses. Just to get wins at Trial Park? I feel like there is some sort of inside joke that I'm missing.

Ive felt this way a couple of times. Hints that there's someone who keeps joining in, claiming a million horses and winning at Trial Park before getting caught and kicked out. What is the story here, is that actually the same person and if so, who?

Supposedly, 3 or potentially 4 players in the past few SIM years have dominated Trial Park, amassed tons of horses (a lot of them pretty good ones from more experienced players), and then left after winning Trainer of the Year. All from Australia and starting within months of each other but not overlapping. However, I believe no concrete evidence has been presented to The Steward so for now, it's just a conspiracy theory.

I actually do have the real evidence now - found it myself. Confirmed, unfortunately.

Makes me sad.

Please tell us all the juicy details

Kind of gives players like me reason to think real hard about gifting nice horses to newer players because of this guy....the good thing is there are "lease" options now where you don't have to just give the horse away, it comes back to you in the event this happens.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I am so very glad the Steward was able to get to the bottom of this as it isn't good for the game to allow it to continue. There are, and remain, reasons why someone would do something like this. I am glad that most of the people here are too decent to think of them, though.

I wonder if he bought anything at the New Player Stewardbred auction last year, and if so if those could be held back for the restricted auction this year so that actual new players have a shot at them?

I hope I don’t get caught next...

On another thread you said you were a different large stable as well. I’m guessing it’s just humor but if not I’ll clarify that at least for my part I never suspected that you were involved in this hustle. You could have been I guess, but you weren’t suspected.

My head is exploding trying to comprehend this. If we were playing for money, it would be easy to understand. Were these Aussies putting New Trainer of the Year Sim Awards on their country club mantle? What kind of thrill is it to win a bunch of Trial Park races and then quit?

Never trust Australians



(Except Cleo)

[The Steward]

I don't think we should probably call out all Australians, as we've had some pretty awesome ones (although Tim might disagree with Cleo..... just kidding). So, no need for that. And fortunately, now we know what to look for.
