The Championships Race Highlights
About
The Tasmania-born former Contiki tour guide has established himself as the leading trainer in Brisbane and he has also emerged as a major carnival player.
Stable favourite Buffering has shaken off the bridesmaid tag to be arguably Australia’s best sprinter, most recently downing Lankan Rupee in the Moir Stakes.
Heathcote has now trained over 1000 winners, has been named Queensland Trainer of the Year on several occasions and has five premiership titles on his resume. Not bad for someone first granted a trainer’s licence in 1997 who admits he had little idea about horses!
