Fair Play (April 1, 1905 – December 17, 1929) was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse who was successful on the track, but even more so when retired to stud.

He was primarily known as a sire of fast, precocious horses but was known to pass on his savage temperament to his offspring in varying degrees.

[2] Fair Play's dam, Fairy Gold, was a stakes winning daughter of Epsom Derby winner Bend Or.

Her daughters St. Lucre and Golden View also became outstanding producers and the family is still active with descendants such as Dubawi, Dalakhani and Daylami.

[5] Fair Play was an attractive golden chestnut horse who stood 15.3 hands (63 inches, 160 cm) at maturity.

In their final face off in the Belmont Stakes, Colin went out to an early lead but was nearly caught at the wire by Fair Play, who lost by a neck in a blinding rainstorm.

[6][8][9][7][10] With two days of rest, Fair Play next entered the Brooklyn Handicap, where he finished second to Colin's stablemate, Celt.

Widener, a dedicated horseman, buried Fair Play in the Elmendorf Farm cemetery and erected a nearly life-size bronze statue at the head of his grave.
