So Grateful is a home bred half-brother to winners Bowson Fred, Towbee and Black Annis Bower. He took a while to come to hand but since he was introduced to the new all-weather track at Southwell he's been a different horse. He has been a late developer, very much like Bowson Fred, and as a four-year-old he won three times at Southwell.

In 2023 he secured his first turf win when scoring at Pontefract.

He is known to his friends as 'Damien', after the child from the horror film 'The Omen'. This is because when he was a foal he had a crescent-shaped star. However, this has become less distinct as he has grown and now only a few white hairs remain.
