Hermis (foaled 1899 in Kentucky) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse.
Hermis Ruiz Cortez Jr., or Hermis for short, 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]
