Lord Module

Lord Module

Lord Module was a champion New Zealand Standardbred racehorse who ran during the 1970s.

Arguably the most gifted of all standardbreds and certainly he could have been the greatest of all but he was troubled throughout his career by bad feet; this led to him losing interest in racing and his subsequent retirement.He won the New Zealand cup in 1979 but was banned the following year because of his unruly behavior. However in the final race of the carnival and against one of the best fields ever assembled he finished his career in the best possible way, coming from a hopeless poistion and storming to victory.The race call by Reon Murtha is remembered word for word by many harness fans such was the emotion generated by the performance.Straight after the race the crowd stormed out of the stands towards the great horse as if the stands were on fire. Reon Murtha recalled in an interview (January 2007) how he chocked back the tears saying it was the most emotional moment in his 47 years of race callingA recent poll of current reinsman highlighted their greatest ever horses, Lord Module was the only one who featured more than once of any horse mentioned from the fifties through to the eighties.
