The Tin Man (February 18, 1998 in Kentucky – 2015) was an American thoroughbred racehorse. The gelding was sired by Affirmed, the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing winner, out of the unplaced Lizzie Rolfe by Tom Rolfe, who was an exceptional racehorse but a better broodmare sire.
The Tin Man was retired at the age of 9 due to complications following exploratory surgery on an ankle.
