He was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 1993 for "service to racehorse training and to the industrial welfare of trainers" and was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2008.[3][4] After retiring as a trainer, Hoysted retired to the regional Victorian city of Castlemaine.[2]
