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 won his first race. He never raced again as a three-year-old.
2009: Four-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, where he finished 12th behind
Espoir City.
2010: Five-Year-Old season 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. Unfortunately, he then suffered a small fractured wingbone that Dr. Alan Nixon successfully treated. He ended the season by finishing fifth in the
Breeders Cup Dirt Mile.
2011: Six-Year-Old Season Tizway brought the best in himself in his final season. He started the season with third place finishes in the
Gulfstream Park Handicap on March 12 and
Charles Town Classic on April 16. He then stepped up to Grade I company in the
Metropolitan Handicap on May 30. Tracking a fast pace for the first 6 furlongs, he took a commanding lead coming into the stretch and won convincingly by lengths. The final time of 1:32.90 was just three-fifths of a second off the track record, and less than one-tenth off the stakes record. "He tries every time," said trainer H. James Bond. "He couldn't stand up on that stuff at Charles Town and still ran a game third and just missed second. Like I say, I'm just fortunate enough to have him in my barn." On August 6, Tizway faced multiple Grade 1 winners in the
Whitney Handicap, at a distance ( 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. The decisive victory marked Tizway as the interim leader of the 2011 older horse division. Unfortunately, Tizway developed a ligament injury while training for the Breeders' Cup Classic and was subsequently retired.
End of career statistics At the end of his career, Tizway had an overall career record of 20–7–1–5 and total earnings of $1,359,274. ==Stud record==
