The 18th Earl, continued the family's enthusiasm for the Turf, winning the Ascot gold Cup in 1949 (Alycidon), the St James's Palace Stakes in 1961 (Tudor Treasure) and the Queen Elizabeth Stakes in 1984 (Teleprompter). Teleprompter was undoubtedly the 18th Earl's finest horse and won races in England, France and Ireland before going on to win the Budweiser Arlington Million in America. The total prize money won by Teleprompter was £704,917.

This exceptional tradition of racing and breeding thoroughbreds continues today. Lord Derby's Stanley House Stud is still at Newmarket with several mares including Lady High Haven, Bethesda, Apache Song, Sita and Lille Hammer. The 19th Earl's success with Ouija Board in The Oaks 2004 brings Classic success back to Stanley House Stud after 59 years.
