Mad Play (foaled 1921 in Kentucky) was an American-bred Thoroughbred stallion racehorse. Bred by August Belmont, Jr., he was sired by the great Fair Play, which made him a half brother to Man o' War, out of another Rock Sand mare, Mad Cap. He was a full brother to 1921 U.S. Champion Older Male Horse Mad Hatter.
Trained by Sam Hildreth and ridden by Earl Sande, as a three-year-old Mad Play came in third in the Preakness Stakes and second in the Dwyer Stakes, but is best known for winning the Belmont Stakes as the favorite in a wire to wire victory by 1 1/2 lengths, making it a third win for his owner, Harry Sinclair, of Rancocas Stable.
He placed third in the International Special No. 3 that year at Latonia Race Track in Convington, Kentucky, losing to Sarazen.
At four, he won the Brooklyn Handicap, the Saratoga Cup Handicap, and the Queens County Handicap.
