Changing Guard (AUS) Horse
About
Changing Guard is a 6yo grey‑black gelding from Australia, trained by Darren McAuliffe in Pinjarra. He is by the stallion Impending out of Queen's Parade. To date he has secured six wins. His most notable victory came on 13 Aug 2025 at Belmont, where he captured the $35,000 3yo+ Rst 0 Met Win‑ly Handicap. He has proved a lucrative choice for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have delivered a 106% return on investment.
