Hours After (foaled 20 January 1985) was an American-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire bast known for his win in the 1988 Prix du Jockey Club.
In the following year he was well-beaten on his debut but then scored a narrow, upset win on his favoured soft ground in the Prix du Jockey Club.
[3][4] In September 1986 Hours After was consigned by Fred Seitz (acting as an agent for Paul Sorren) to the Keeneland yearling sale where he was bought for $60,000 by the bloodstock agency Horse France.
Ridden for the first time by the Irish jockey Pat Eddery he finished seventh, more than fourteen lengths behind the winner Nasr El Erab.
Hours After prevailed by a short head from Ghost Buster's [sic], just ahead of Emmson, Exactly Sharp, Nasr El Arab and Waki River.
Ridden on this occasion by Gerald Mosse, he started at odds of 14/1 and finished ninth of the eleven runners on good to firm ground behind Kahyasi.
