Risk Manager (USA)
About
Risk Manager is a 7yo horse from the United States trained by Michael J. Maker. He is by the stallion Lookin At Lucky out of the mare Katura. To date, Risk Manager has captured seven victories. On September 7, 2025, at Kentucky Downs, he earned his biggest triumph, taking the $200,000 Race 2 purse. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 2% return on investment.
