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. 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''. He raced from 2 years to 10 years old, beating nearly every champion that New Zealand had to offer, including Show Gate .

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