Risk Me (10 March 1984 – after 2002) was a French-bred British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. As a juvenile in 1986 he won his first two races including the National Stakes and later finished second in both the Middle Park Stakes and the Prix de la Forêt.His performance in the latter race saw him rated the best two-year-old colt to race in France that year. In the following year he won the Greenham Stakes in England but had his biggest success in France where he won the Prix Jean Prat and the Grand Prix de Paris. He failed to win again and was retired from racing at the end of the year. He had modest success as a breeding stallion.
