Hermis (foaled 1899 in Kentucky) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse.
Background
Hermis was a chestnut horse bred by Hiram Berry: H. A. Engman owned his dam, Katy of the West. He was purchased as a two-year-old by Cincinnati theatre man Henry M. Ziegler and was trained by Charles Hughes.[1] Hermis would be sold to Louis V. Bell who turned him over to Jack McCormack to train.[2] Sold in 1903 to banker Edward R. Thomas, Hermis would then be trained by Alexander Shields who later would acquire a part ownership and then full ownership in 1906.[3][4]
Racing career
Beginning at age three, Hermis was a dominant force in racing and would be awarded 1902
Stud record
Hermis was retired to stud duty. On January 3, 1912, the New York Times reported that he had been sold to Edmond Blanc, a prominent French breeder and owner of Haras de Jardy at Marnes-la-Coquette in what is today the western suburbs of Paris.[7]
