About
Changing Guard is a 6yo grey‑blk gelding from Australia, trained by Darren McAuliffe at Pinjarra. He is by Impending out of Queen's Parade. He has earned seven wins so far. On 13 May 2026 at Pinjarra he secured his most important victory, the $35,000.00 No‑metro‑wins race from the previous year. The horse has consistently been profitable for bettors, and a career‑long backing would have produced a 151% return on investment.
