Homer Chesley Pardue (March 5, 1910 – January 5, 1979) was an American trainer and owner of Thoroughbred racehorses. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, across the street from Churchill Downs, Pardue began working in the racing industry as an exercise rider at the famous track while a fourteen-year-old schoolboy. Twenty years later he had his first Kentucky Derby runner when Red Hannigan finished twelfth in the 1954 running. In the 1940s, under his wife Katy's name, he owned and raced several horses such as Rodger Joe and Doubt Not. 1972 saw Pardue return to the Triple Crown series with his Louisiana and Arkansas Derby winner, No Le Hace. The colt finished second in both the Derby and the Preakness Stakes and then sixth in the Belmont Stakes.
