Fair Play (April 1, 1905 – December 17, 1929) was an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse that was successful on the track, but even more so as a sire.
His grandsire was Spendthrift, whose grandsire was the English Triple Crown champion West Australian.
While successful on the track until an injury cut short his racing career, Fair Play gained his most fame as a sire. Among his better progeny were:
Following the death of owner August Belmont, Jr., in 1924, Fair Play was sold to Joseph E. Widener, proprietor of Elmendorf Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, where he remained until his death on December 17, 1929. 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.

Fair Play is a 2014 Czech drama film directed by Andrea Sedláčková. It was selected as the Czech entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.
Set in Czechoslovakia in 1983, the film tells the story of Anna, a sprinter who is hoping to compete in the Olympics, and is given anabolic steroids ("Stromba") by her trainer and her mother.
The film was shot in Prague, Bratislava, and Vysoké Tatry; there were also plans to shoot in Germany.
Judit Bárdos and Eva Josefíková went through athletic training for six months prior to filming, in order to be able to perform the running scenes realistically. Nonetheless, doubles replaced the main actors in certain scenes.
The title song was recorded by Miro Žbirka in the London Abbey Road Studios.
The Fair Play Project (Projeto Jogo Justo, in Portuguese) is an initiative that has the objective of reducing the tax burden on imported video games in Brazil, which is around 72.18%.
The intention is to show, by providing a report based on commercial information from developers and shopkeepers, that the Brazilian gaming market has a huge potential. As comparison, Mexico will be mentioned, where the gaming market grew eight times after its tax burden was reduced.
The Fair Play Project aims to reduce the price of games, gaming devices and their peripherals, thereby increasing the final consumer's contact with games, a form of culture increasingly widespread in the world. Therefore, the Brazilian market will develop along with the possibility of more producers settling in Brazil, generating, gradually, more employments on this sector of economy.
Founded by Moacyr Alves Jr., the Fair Play Project was created by an independent political, economic and profit generating community. It began to take shape in the second half of 2010 and will be submitted to the Brazilian IRS in November. During a meeting in Brasilia, it'll be explained the benefits of reducing the tax burden over game's sold in Brazil, which would cause the games to go from R$ 250,00 (~U$ 145) to R$ 99,00 (~U$ 57), approximately. If approved by the IRS, the project may come into operation at the beginning of 2011.
