Grey Way, the Washdyke Wonder was a champion New Zealand thoroughbred racehorse. He was born in Waskdyke in 1970 near Timaru by Grey William out of Waybrooke. The other racehorse born in this area is Phar Lap.

He was horse of the year in 1973.^{[citation needed]} He was grey in colour, and pure white in the later stages. Grey Way was successful mainly at distances from 6 furlongs to a mile, ie, a sprinter-miler, but he did win at longer distances. Grey Way had a record of 51 wins and 27 seconds and 21 thirds from 164 starts.^{[citation needed]} He raced from 2 years to 10 years old, beating nearly every champion that New Zealand had to offer, including Show Gate. He also broke the Australasian record over 7 furlongs, as a seven year old and carrying 60.5kg.^{[citation needed]}

He was the New Zealand equivalent to other great grey, Gunsynd.
