Lordship was a New Zealand–bred Standardbred pacer. He won two New Zealand Trotting Cup races, the richest harness race, and sometimes the richest horse race in New Zealand.[1] He won 45 races and as a leading sire, he sustained the Globe Derby sireline through his successful sons.
In 1962, as a four-year-old, he beat the great champion racehorse Cardigan Bay in the New Zealand Trotting Cup on a rain-affected track. He was a bit of a mudlark and won the 1966 version of the Cup, again on a wet track.[2]
He won the following major races:
- 1962 New Zealand Trotting Cup
- 1964 Auckland Pacing Cup
- 1966 New Zealand Trotting Cup
