Naturally Noble with Justin Mahar Up

From the Memorabilia of Willis Whittemore

The storyboards in this post are representative of what many Maine horsemen hold dear. The photographs from the tracks tell the stories of their victories and who joined them in celebration. These storyboards from the 1960's and 1970's show Willis Whittemore with many of his early Standardbreds. As he reminisced many of these horses were his favorites.
