Wild Risk (1940–1967) was a French-bred thoroughbred racehorse who became a leading sire and Professional Chef-de-race.
Background
Wild Risk was a medium-to-small horse. His right front hoof tended towards being a club foot, and his shoulders were a bit upright and narrow. He had long cannon bones and a very good temperament.[1][2]
His sire Rialto won the Prix d'Ispahan and ran second in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe before becoming an important stallion.[3]
Wild Violet, Wild Risk's dam, was a winner, sired by Blandford out of the good winner Wood Violet.[1]
Racing career
Wild Risk raced in German-occupied France during the Second World War.[4]
He broke his maiden as a two-year-old at odds of 100/1 after four poor prior starts.[1]
Wild Risk was a good stakes winner on the flat and also performed well over jumps,[3] winning the Grand Course de Haies d'Auteuil twice in 1944 and 1945. Despite this, he wasn't considered to be of the highest caliber of racehorse, at least on the flat.[4] He was thought to be one of the best French hurdlers during the war.[2]
Stud career
Wild Risk was considered to be a poor sire prospect when he was retired.[1][4] He was among the leading sires in France multiple times, leading the list for flat sires 1961 and 1964 and the list for jumpers in 1966.[1][2][5] He was named a Professional Chef-de-race in the Roman-Miller Dosage System.[6] He sired 123 mares who went on to produce 633 foals, of which 152 (24%) were winners. His broodmare sire AEI was 1.58 and CI was 1.48.[7] He died in 1967.[1]
