Talkin Man (foaled 1992) is a Thoroughbred racehorse who was the Canadian Champion 2-year-old colt of 1994 after winning the Coronation Futurity and Grey Stakes.
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.
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.
Shipped to Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York, on March 25, Talkin Man established himself as a potential contender for the May 1995 Kentucky Derby.
A week before the Kentucky Derby, owners Helen Stollery and Kinghaven Farms sold a one-third interest in Talkin Man to Vancouver financier Peter Wall.
