About
Vanguard Legend is a 5yo bay gelding from Australia, trained by Chloe Baxter in Darwin. His sire is Microphone and his dam is Leading the Way. To date he has captured five victories. On 5 July 2025 at Darwin he earned his biggest triumph, taking the $75,000 3‑year‑old Open Set Weights. Punters have found him worthwhile; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 30% ROI.
