Lordship was a New Zealand–bred Standardbred pacer. He won two New Zealand Trotting Cup races. He won 45 races and as a leading sire, he sustained the Globe Derby sireline through his successful sons.

Lordship was bred by Doris Nyhan and trained by her husband Don Nyhan and driven by their son Denis Nyhan in most of his major victories.[1]

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.
