Mad Play (foaled 1921 in Kentucky) was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse. Bred by August Belmont, Jr., he was sired by Fair Play, who also sired Man o' War, out of a Rock Sand mare, Mad Cap. He was a full brother to 1921 U.S. Champion Older Male Horse Mad Hatter.
Mad Play was trained by Sam Hildreth and he was 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 to win by 1½ lengths, making it a third win for his owner, Harry Sinclair, of Rancocas Stable. He then won the Brookdale Handicap, the Continental Handicap, and the Yorktown Handicap.
