Biography:
Foaled in 1933, Her Ladyship became the eleventh 2:00 pacing mare. As a broodmare at Walnut Hall, she was the best of her time. Nine of her foals took records, including Phantom Lady 1:58 2/5, Gosling,1:59 3/5 and Goose Bay 2:00 2/5. An Abbedale-La Paloma filly, Her Ladyship had a time trial mark of 1:56 3/4 at Lexington, Kentucky in 1938, which broke the long-standing world record for pacing mares, held jointly by Miss Harris M. and Margaret Dillon.
