PLAY of the DAY” by Brian Nadeau                   
   
Date  4/30/25 
   
Featured track  Churchill Downs  
   
Race number  8 
   
Race overview  A solid renewal of the 200k Isaac Murphy Marathon for 4up at 1 ½ miles on the main track. 
   
Pace  For a marathon, it actually seems honest, as there are more than a few who want to be close early, though how fast they’ll actually be going remains to be seen. 
   
Trends  N/A 
   
Best Play  #5 LAMBETH (2-1): The favorite took his game to a new level in his last start when he wired the Temperence Hill at Oaklawn at this trip in fast time, though he’s rated before as well, and with the Sharp barn white-hot, it looks like onward and upward for this beautifully bred son of Arrogate. 
   
Bet Types    Aggressive WP and single in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
