Back In Front
Back In Front (foaled 14 April 1997) is a retired, Irish Thoroughbred racehorse who competed in National Hunt racing. The gelding showed early promise in National Hunt Flat races, winning twice and finishing third in an exceptionally strong renewal of the Champion Bumper. He was one of the leading novice hurdlers in the 2003–04 season, winning four races including the Supreme Novices' Hurdle in England and the Evening Herald Champion Novice Hurdle in Ireland. In the following season he won the Morgiana Hurdle and was regarded as a Champion Hurdle contender before being sidelined by injury. Back In Front won the Bula Hurdle in 2004 but ran poorly when joint-favourite for the Champion Hurdle in 2005. He had little success when switched to steeplechasing and was retired in 2007, having won eleven of his twenty-five races.
==Background==
Back In Front was a brown gelding with a small white star bred in County Limerick Ireland by Noreen Hayes. He was sired by Bob Back, a racehorse whose best performance came when he recorded an upset win over Pebbles and Commanche Run in the 1985 Prince of Wales's Stakes. As a breeding stallion, he sired the St Leger Stakes winner Bob's Return, but had more success as a National Hunt sire, with his progeny including Bobs Worth, Bacchanal (Stayers' Hurdle), Thisthatandtother (Festival Trophy) and Burton Port (Reynoldstown Novices' Chase). Back In Front's dam Storm Front showed some ability as a National Hunt racehorse, winning six minor races and being placed at Grade III level. She was a descendant of the broodmare Drift who produced the classic winners Tide-Way and Sun Stream.
In June 2000, the three-year-old gelding was sent by the Hayes' family's Knockainey stud to the Tattersalls Ireland sale, but was withdrawn. During his racing career, he was owned in partnership by Nelius Hayes and Dermot Cox and was trained by Edward O'Grady at Ballynonty, County Tipperary. Back In Front was a temperamental and headstrong horse who was sometimes difficult to manage. In 2005 O'Grady said of the gelding: "He's like Mr T in The A-Team. They had to knock him out to get him on the plane. Well, if we want so much as to clip Back In Front, we have to knock him out. If we don't, he's the boss, he won't allow us. In previous years we've done that. This year, we just thought: OK, leave him hairy. When he first arrived with us he wasn't terribly keen to have anything done with his head. Like putting a bridle on it. We've learnt. If we want to do something that doesn't suit him, we say, That's fine. We'll come back later."
