It was eventually decided it would be best for Heinrich’s career to shift stables to a location where she could receive race riding opportunities from her master as the Munces mainly race in the city.
While the GC-based Beaton also has many city runners, she also frequents country and provincial TAB meetings.
She will make a rare trip to Nanango for a non-TAB raceday on Saturday with Ma’s Epic’s set to be Heinrich’s first ride in a race.
The bay mare has drawn the nine alley in the QTIS Class 3 Plate over 1000 metres.
After growing up in New Zealand, Beaton had her first stint in Australia working under the tutelage of leading Brisbane trainer Rob Heathcote.
In those days, champion sprinter Buffering was flying the flag for the Heathcote camp, with Beaton riding the tough sprinter in his trackwork all around the globe.
