For A Reason’s Group One Glory

For A Reason’s Group One Glory
Published on:

Our resident Stallion, For A Reason produced another Group One Winner over the weekend. Trent Dawson produced a great confident front-running drive on the For A Reason colt For Real Life to take victory in the Group One QBRED Triad Final for the Two-Year-Old Colts and Geldings on Saturday night at The Creek.


After running an enormous second in his previous Group One start to Tardelli (Huntsville) in the Garrard’s Redcliffe Yearling Sales Final, For Real Life picked up his first Group One victory for his connections. The son of For A Reason also clocked a person best of 1:55.2 to take out the feature. 
For Real Life is the winner of three races and three placings from nine race starts and over $93,000 in earnings in a very short period of time with only starting his racing career in late April. 


“He’s been a professional right from the start, has a great gait and determination to win. He’s the first For A Reason I’ve had but he won’t be the last, I’ve found him to be super intelligent and willing to please right from the start” – Trent Dawson, owner, trainer and driver of For Real Life.

As well as multiple Group One, Two and Three winners, with his progeny banking over three and a half million dollars in earnings with an average of $29,800 per starter.  That’s an amazing 10 multiplier on a service fee of $2,750! 


Its a crazy to think that his biggest crops are still yet to grace the racetrack, the future of For A Reason’s progeny is an exciting one at that!
