Racing career
Early career
Tizway's debut came in a 2-year-old maiden special weight at Aqueduct Racecourse. He came in 6th place and did not run again that year.
As a three-year-old, Tizway did not run in any stakes races. His first 4 races he lost. Out of them his best finish was a third. But on the 5th try Tizway successfully won his first race. He never raced again as a three year old.
4-year-old season
After 10 months of rest, Tizway came in 2nd in his return before winning his 2nd race, an allowance. He ran in the Whitney for the first time. This was also the first time Tizway ran in a stakes race. He ended up in 4th. He also was 3rd in the Jockey Club Gold Cup. In his last race as a 4-year-old, Tizway was entered in the Japan Cup Dirt. He finished 12th.
5-year-old season
As a 5 year old, Tizway made one of his best seasons yet. He returned with a win in an allowance race before a 3rd in the Metropolitan handicap. He followed up with his first ever graded stakes victory in the Kelso handicap; before ending the season with a 5th in the Breeders Cup dirt mile.
6-year-old season
Tizway brought the best in himself in his 6 year old (and final) season. He started off with 2 thirds in the Gulfstream Park Handicap and Charles Town Stakes. But the best in himself came in his next 2 starts. It started with a victory in the Metropolitan Handicap, before having to face multiple Grade 1 winners in the Whitney. The Whitney would be his last race. At the beginning of the race, Tizway bolted out of the gate and went to the lead, but he let other contenders, Friend or Foe and Morning Line set the pace. When they hit the far turn, Tizway had taken the lead and held off Flat Out to win the Whitney by 3 lengths.
