Talkin Man (foaled 1992) is a Canadian Thoroughbred racehorse.
Talkin Man was bred in Ontario by two of that country's leading owner/breeders, Arthur and Helen Stollery's Angus Glen Farm and Bud Willmot's Kinghaven Farms.
A descendant of the important sire Nearco, Talkin Man was out of the mare Pookette and was sired by With Approval, the 1989 Canadian Triple Crown champion and Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee. His damsire, Miswaki, a two-time Leading broodmare sire in Great Britain & Ireland, was a son of the important American sire Mr. Prospector. Talkin Man was trained by Canadian Racing Hall of Fame trainer Roger Attfield
At two, Talkin Man was voted 1994 Canadian Champion 2-Year-Old Male Horse honors. In the fall, he won the Grey Stakes at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto and was shipped to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, to run in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Up against a strong field of American and European colts, he was sent off as a distant fifth choice at 11:1 betting odds in the mile and a sixteenth race. Six furlongs in, Talkin Man was running second in the thirteen-horse field and closing in on the leader but after turning for home faded badly and wound up tenth to winner Timber Country. Diagnosed with a lung infection, he was sent to recover in southern Florida over the winter and then before spring to a training base at Keeneland Race Course.
