Bio
Max Player closed from far off the pace to run second by a half-length in his career debut Nov. 12, 2019, at Parx Racing. He followed with a dominant 4 ¼-length victory Dec. 17 in a one-mile race on a sloppy track at Parx.
Trainer Linda Rice tested the dark bay or brown Honor Code colt against graded stakes competition in his 3-year-old bow, entering Max Player in the Grade 3 Withers Stakes Feb. 1 at Aqueduct. Max Player aced the exam by closing from sixth for a 3 1/4-length score and banked 10 points on the Road to the Kentucky Derby.

Max Player made his first start since his breakthrough Withers win in a very tough assignment: the 152nd Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets on June 20. Well back early in the 1 1/8-mile Belmont, which was shortened and rescheduled as the first leg of a Triple Crown altered by the global health pandemic, he rallied in the stretch to secure third behind Tiz the Law and Dr Post, earning 30 more Kentucky Derby qualifying points.
A half-brother (same dam [mother], different sire [father]) to Group 2 winner Seahenge, Max Player is out of the stakes-winning Not For Love mare Fools in Love.
