Carl Henry Hanford (March 12, 1916 - August 14, 2011) was a United States Hall of Fame trainer of Thoroughbred racehorses best known for guiding Kelso to five straight American Horse of the Year titles; no other horse has won more than three times.[1]

Hanford's training career was interrupted when he served five years in the United States Army Remount Service during World War II.

Carl Hanford also notably trained La Corredora, a racemare voted the Champion Handicap Mare of 1953 by the New York Turf Writers Association.[2]

In 1999 Carl Hanford was inducted into the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame.[3]

Ira Hanford was a brother of Carl who in 1936 became the first apprentice jockey to ever win the Kentucky Derby.[4]
