Vanderbilt Handicap and finished second in the Forego Handicap and Vosburgh Stakes. Since retiring from racing he has sired Data Link, Declaration of War, Summer Soiree, The Factor and War Command. War Front was trained by H. Allen Jerkens, and owned and bred by Joseph Allen. BackgroundWar Front is a bay horse bred by Joseph Allen and foaled on February 11, 2002.[1] His was sired by Danzig, who won three minor races, but was then retired to stud undefeated due to knee problems. He went on to become a successful stallion and was champion sire of North America in 1991, 1992 and 1993. Amongst his other progeny are Chief's Crown, Dance Smartly, Danehill, Dayjur and Lure.[2] War Front's dam is Starry Dreamer, a daughter of Rubiano who won six races and was placed in a number of graded races.[3] War Front was trained by H. Allen Jerkens.[4] At maturity he reached {{hands|15.3}} high.[5] Racing career2004: Two-year-old seasonWar Front made his racecourse debut on December 18, 2004 in a six-furlong maiden race at Aqueduct. He never challenged the leaders and finished in seventh place behind winner Diamond Wildcat.[6] This was War Front's only race as a two-year-old.[4] 2005: Three-year-old seasonWar Front's second race came on January 16, 2005 in a one-mile maiden at Aqueduct. After stumbling at the start he recovered to be up with the leaders. He raced three horses wide around the bend, before fading slightly in the final furlong, finishing in third place behind winner Tashdeed.[7] War Front did not race again until August 31, when he was one of six horses to run in a six-furlong maiden at Saratoga. Jockey José Santos sent War Front into a clear lead and he drew away in the closing stages to win by over ten lengths from runner-up Master Command.[8] War Front followed this up by winning an allowance race at Belmont Park on September 18. After being bumped by another horse at the start, he contested the lead for most of the race, before pulling clear in the home straight to win by six lengths from Stars Above.[9] On October 10, War Front stepped up in class for the Princelet Stakes, which is run of one mile and half a furlong at Belmont Park. After racing near the front on the inside, he drew clear when José Santos got him to quicken, and won the race by eight lengths from Skagway.[10] War Front's final race of 2005 was the Discovery Handicap, where he finished in sixth place behind winner Magna Graduate.[11] 2006: Four-year-old seasonOn January 7, 2006, War Front finished second in the Mr. Prospector Handicap at Gulfstream Park, a neck behind winner Gaff.[12] The following month, War Front started as favorite for the Deputy Minister Handicap. After racing near the front in the early stages, War Front drew clear inside the final furlong, but was caught near the line by winner Universal Form, finishing a length behind him in second place.[13] War Front then had a break from racing, returning on July 16 for the Tom Fool Handicap, where he again finished as the runner-up, beaten a neck by Silver Train.[14] On his next start, the Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap on August 12, War Front started as the favorite and was ridden by regular jockey José Santos. He was up near the front as the six-runner field as the field went into the turn, before accelerating to take the lead while racing four horses wide. In the finishing straight he pulled steadily away to win by two and a half lengths from Judiths Wild Rush, who was a further one and a half lengths clear of third-placed Mass Media.[15] Three weeks later, War Front raced at Grade I level for the first time when he contested the Forego Handicap. He bumped with Silver Wagon at the start and then raced up with the pace. He challenged in the finishing stretch, but could not get past winner Pomeroy and faded in the final stages to finish in second place, two and a quarter lengths behind Pomeroy, and a neck ahead of third-placed Friendly Island.[16] Later in the year, War Front finished second in the Vosburgh Stakes. In his final race he finished seventh behind winner Thor's Echo in the Breeders' Cup Sprint.[4] Stud careerWar Front now stands as a stallion at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky, where his 2016 stud fee was $200,000 (increased from the $150,000 fee for 2015 and 2014).[17][18] His most notable progeny so far are:
