 Lord raced until he was a nine-year-old, often competing against quality opposition such as Tulloch, Todman, Sky High and Aquanita.He was ridden in many of his wins by top apprentice (later leading jockey) Geoff Lane, who knew the big gelding's habits and ability.He never ran in a Cox Plate, since he was unable to handle the smaller Moonee Valley track due to his long-striding action.
