Harry James, the famous bandleader and trumpet player, owned several racehorses, but the most notable of his horses that ran in the Kentucky Derby was "Our Boots." He also had other horses that participated in various races, but "Our Boots" is often highlighted in discussions about his involvement in horse racing.
