Watts Humphrey Jr. foaled February 15, 1977 owner: Mrs B. R. Firestone Genuine Risk was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1986. In the Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century, she was ranked #91. Genuine Risk was bred to Secretariat in 1982. The resulting foal expected in 1983 would have made history as the first offspring of two Kentucky Derby winners. Unfortunately, Genuine Risk delivered a stillborn colt. She later produced Genuine Reward, a colt by Rahy in 1993, and Count Our Blessing, a colt by Chief Honcho in 1996. Neither colt ever raced. Genuine Reward went to stud in 1997 but Count Our Blessing was eventually gelded.
