There, his best result in five starts was a second in the Group 3 Prix du Chemin de Fer du Nord at Chantilly Racecourse. [1]

The following year, under owner Team Valor, trainer Mark Henning and jockey Jose Santos, five-year-old Star of Cozzene had his best year in racing when he won six events including the Arlington Million, Manhattan Handicap, Caesars International, Man o' War Stakes, as well as defeating 1993 American Horse of the Year Kotashaan in three races in late 1992 and early 1993. [2] In late September 1993, he was sold for $3 million to Tomaeato Farm, owners of breeding farms in Japan.
