Horse of the Year candidate Tizway, winner of the Whitney Handicap this summer at Saratoga, took a little road trip Wednesday morning, shipping to Belmont to work a mile as he continues to prepare for the Breeders' Cup Classic.

The son of two-time Classic winner Tiznow went the mile in 1:38.47 under exercise rider Andreas Catalan.

Tizway will come into the Classic off nearly a three-month layoff after being forced to miss the Jockey Club Gold Cup with a fever. The horse has been training regularly over Saratoga's Oklahoma Training Track, but trainer Jim Bond wanted a better gauge of where he was at in his preparation. So he took him to Belmont, where Tizway won the Metropolitan Mile in near-record time.

Tizway will return to Saratoga tomorrow and will have his final work here eight or nine days before the Classic.
