About
Back Of The Bus is a 3yo bay filly trained by Tony Pike. She is by the stallion Hello Youmzain out of the dam Luce Del Sole. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $79,569, she is regarded as a horse of above‑average ability. On 30th Jul 2026 at Otaki, jockey Lisa Allpress rode her to her most important win, taking the $80000.00 2yo Open Set Weight against Midnight Dart. She has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing her throughout her career would have produced a 172% return on investment.
