Market Wise (foaled 1938 in Virginia) was an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse.
Bred by Cary T. Grayson, Market Wise was out of On Hand, and his sire was the 1933 Kentucky Derby winner, Brokers Tip. He was purchased by New York contractor Louis Tufano for $1,000. He was trained by George W. Carroll.
Market Wise raced in 1940 at age two with little success. Going into the April 26, 1941, Wood Memorial Stakes, the then three-year-old had earned only $4,975, but he upset the favorite, King Cole, to win with a come-from-behind stretch drive. Flush with over $16,000 in winnings from the race, owner Louis Tufano hired a private railcar to transport his horse to Louisville, Kentucky to run in the Derby. Market Wise ran third to winner Whirlaway in the 1941 Kentucky Derby and second to him in the Dwyer Stakes. He later defeated Whirlaway in the 1941 Jockey Club Gold Cup while setting a new American record for two miles. The colt went on to win the Gallant Fox Handicap and on September 6 set a new Aqueduct Racetrack track record in winning the 1⅛ mile Edgemere Handicap. On October 30, 1941, Market Wise earned his most important win of the year in the Pimlico Special under regular jockey Wendell Eads. Two weeks later, on the same Pimlico Race Course, he won the one and five eights mile Governor Bowie Handicap in track-record time. In the balloting for 1941 American Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse honors, Market Wise finished second to U.S. Triple Crown winner, Whirlaway.
