The Tin Man (February 18, 1998 in Kentucky – 2015) is an American thoroughbred racehorse. The gelding was sired by Affirmed, the last horse to win the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing out of the unplaced Lizzie Rolfe by Tom Rolfe, who was an exceptional racehorse but a better broodmare sire. He was retired at the age of 9 due to complications following exploratory surgery on an ankle. ==Breeding== A dark brown gelding, The Tin Man was bred and raced by Ralph and Aury Todd (who live in California's Santa Ynez Valley). His sire never ran on grass, but his descendants proved themselves on the turf. Affirmed's daughter Flawlessly twice earned Eclipse Awards as Champion Grass Female, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame. One of his top sons, Charlie Barley, was a Canadian Turf Champion. The Todds bought a mare called Dancin' Liz, by Northern Dancer. She became a stakes winner and a stakes producer, with foals including the Grade II winner Oraibi, by Forli. She also dropped a Skywalker foal: the stakes-placed gelding Santero. Her filly by Tom Rolfe is The Tin Man's dam. The Tin Man was Lizzie Rolfe's ninth live foal. She died in 2000 giving birth to a full sister to The Tin Man. This sister is called She's a Rich Girl. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Tin Man (horse)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
