About

So Risque is an 8yo bay gelding trained by Ben, Will & Jd Hayes, based at Euroa. He is by the stallion So You Think out of the mare Risque Business. To date, he has recorded seven career wins. On 20 January 2024 at Flemington, So Risque achieved his most important victory, taking the $130 000 Benchmark 84 Handicap. He has proved a profitable runner for bettors; a career‑long backing would have delivered a 26 % return on investment.
