Three-time leading American sire Fair Play, sire of Man o' War, pictured shortly after he was auctioned off in 1924 after his owner August Belmont Jr's death. Aged 19 at the time, he fetched $ 100,000. Bought by Joseph E Widener and moved to Elmendorf Farm, where he died on December 17, 1929. He was buried under a half-size statue of himself on a part of Elmendorf which is now known as Normandy Farm. Man o'War's mother Mahubah was bought at the same sale and is buried beside Fair Play.
