Recently Jean Emerson provided me with a copy of the Maine Standardbred Breeders Stakes Promotion for 1977. The back cover listed Registered Sires for 1978. To document this moment in the history of the Maine Sire Stakes Program, I am requesting that horsemen and women, photographers, and others who might have photographs of the horses listed to scan them at 300 dpi and attach the photographs in an e-mail sent to losttrottingparks@gmail.com. If you have a photograph and would like to have the photograph to be included in this project, you can mail the photograph to Lost Trotting Parks Heritage Center, P.O. Box 263, Hallowell, Maine 04347. Be sure to mark the envelop “Do Not Bend.” You can contact Stephen Thompson by calling 207-242-7774.
