Driver Profiles

KELLY HOERDT Resides in Beaumont, Alberta
Driving Colours – Green-Black-White Kelly Hoerdt, of Beaumont, Alberta, is a successful horseman who is annually near the top of the training and driving charts in Alberta. Hoerdt has been busy training a full stable of 40 horses for the upcoming meet at Century Downs. Training back nicely amongst his stable stars is the 2014 Champion Three-Year-Old Colt and the 2014 Western Canada Pacing Derby winner Outlaw Gunpowder.

Joining Outlaw Gunpowder will be stablemate Ghost Pine. Hoerdt is very happy with his group of three-year-olds which includes Cool Cowboy (2014 Champion Two-Year-Old Colt), True Rock (Champion Two-Year-Old Filly), Nostalgia (a Sportswriter filly) and a very talented three-year-old Dragon Again colt. In addition, Hoerdt is also training down 10 promising two-year-olds and his old campaigners Greek Ruler and Hilldrop Shady will both return and line up behind the gate at Century Downs. Kelly worked with his Dad, Fred, and the horses from the time he was six.

The turning point came at age 14 when Fred gave Kelly half of a horse, Sarepta Mile, who Kelly jogged and took care of. He never looked back, and has had many great horses over the years including Nealies Smartie, a winner of $350,000, Ray’s Promise, a winner of $200,000. There were pacers like Idle Promises, who won $300,000 in 2005; Blue Star Majesty, who set an Alberta single-season earnings record of $275,000 in 2006; Trust the Artist, who won the Western Canada Pacing Derby in 2007 and retired with earnings of $600,000; and River Lass, who was named horse of the year in 2010 and holds the track record at Alberta Downs in Lacombe for aged mares.

In 2013, Kelly was voted the winner of the O’Brien Award of Horsemanship. In 2013, his stable was led by sophomore pacing colt Premium Attraction, a multiple stakes winner who rattled off six wins in 11 races and over $111,000. Hoerdt was also a co-winner of Alberta’s Trainer of the Year Award in 2013.
