The S J's Photo-Sissy De gelding hadn't raced since February of 2009 prior to landing in the Pompano backstretch in the barn of Peter Pellegrino for the ownership of the Baron Stable of Horsham, PA. The 28-time career winner of over $614,000 took his life's mark of 1:52.3 at The Meadowlands in July of 2007 just before a close third place finish in that year's Nat Ray Memorial.
Originally developed along the Pennsylvania Fair Circuit and Sires Stakes trail by Todd Schadel, Roger Hammer, and Rodney Bolon, San Remo Kosmos would also race with the continent's best from 2007 into 2009 from the care of Mark Silva, Ben Wallace, and Jimmy Takter.
On the Wednesday, January 4 program in South Florida, San Remo Kosmos followed in for a solid runner-up finish in a $5,700 purse conditioned trot with Bruce Ranger in the bike. His 104th career start followed a pair of third place finishes and two qualifiers on the comeback trail at Pompano.
