Tizway (February 17, 2005 – March 2, 2024) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 2011 Whitney Stakes and Metropolitan Handicap.
[2] Tizway started his 5-year-old campaign on April 23, 2010, with a win in an allowance race at Aqueduct, then finished third in the Metropolitan Handicap on May 31.
He started the season with third place finishes in the Gulfstream Park Handicap on March 12 and Charles Town Classic on April 16.
Tracking a fast pace for the first 6 furlongs, he took a commanding lead coming into the stretch and won convincingly by 2+3⁄4 lengths.
"[3] On August 6, Tizway faced multiple Grade 1 winners in the Whitney Handicap, at a distance (1+1⁄8 miles) in which he had only 1 win in 8 starts.
At the beginning of the race, Tizway bolted out of the gate and went to the lead, but he then settled behind Friend or Foe and Morning Line.
When they hit the far turn, Tizway took command and easily held off Flat Out to win by three lengths.
[5] Unfortunately, Tizway developed a ligament injury while training for the Breeders' Cup Classic and was subsequently retired.
[9] As of July 2016, Tizway was a top 10 ranked second crop sire, whose notable offspring included stakes winner Bear'sway.
