Our Boots (foaled 1938) was an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse. He won a Daily Racing Form poll to be voted the 1940 American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt.[1] The rival Turf & Sports Digest poll was topped by Whirlaway. He was sired by Bull Dog, the 1943 Leading sire in North America, and was out of the English-born mare Maid of Arches.[2]
Our Boots was owned and raced by the Woodvale Farm of Royce G. Martin, who bought him at the Saratoga Sales for $3,500.[3] He was trained by Steve Judge. The colt's most important wins of his two-year-old championship season came in the Futurity Trial [4] and the Futurity Stakes at Belmont Park, in which he defeated future U.S. Triple Crown winner and Hall of Fame inductee Whirlaway.[5]
A winterbook favorite for the Kentucky Derby, Our Boots won the Blue Grass Stakes, then finished eighth in the Derby and third in the Preakness Stakes.
As a sire, Our Boots produced some offspring that met with modest racing success.[6]
