He rode as a conditional for Peter Easterby, who trained all but the last of his winners, the first of which was at Haydock Park on December 12, 1990, when Elder Prince took the lead after the last flight and stayed on to win the Beeches Farm Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle by three lengths. He had two more winners that season, followed by seven in 1991/92.

His final victory came at Sedgefield on October 13, 1992, when Furry Baby, trained by Maurice Avison, comfortably landed the Settrington Novices’ Handicap Hurdle by eight lengths. The five-year-old had won his previous start at Southwell eight days earlier under Russ Garrity. Lawrence kept the ride for one unplaced run. After a few more unsuccessful mounts that season, he did not renew his licence.
