Otago Witness, Issue 1493, 26 June 1880, Page 18 News of the Week Mr. Keith has taken Mr J.W. Jackson's stables, and has engaged Albert Lyford as trainer. Evening Post, Volume XXXVIII, Issue 123, 21 November 1889, Page 2 Mr. Albert Lyford, the well-known horsetrainer, got into an awkward predicament at the Hutt Park yesterday. It appears that while he was attending to Mr. P. P. Tancred's stallion The Premier, the animal seized him by the back, lifted him into the air, and shook him. Just then a Maori rushed in and disengaged Mr. Lyford from the stallion's teeth. Had it not been for this timely interference he might have met with serious injury, and as it is he will bear the marks of the encounter on his skin for some days.
