Why are horses legs taped for a race?

The legs are taped because when horses are running their back legs come up and will sometimes clip the back of their front legs. So to prevent injury they tape legs. Taping (rundown bandages) the back legs prevents injury to the back of the ankle. Rundown injuries are caused as the horse tires which results in the back of the ankle and sometimes fetlock being abraded by the track surface if it is not taped.

Why are sound front legs more important then hind legs?

All around soundness is important but sound front legs are even more so as the majority of a horses weight is carried on the front legs when running. The back legs are providing the propulsion and not carrying much of the weight. There is a point in a canter and a gallop when the horses weight is balanced entirely on one front leg! That's why the bones in the front legs are thicker than the back and why it is important for them to be sound.
