GIN AND PLATONIC (c, 2, Medal Count–Blue Samurai, by Orientate), 2-1 while bidding to become the first winner for his freshman sire (by Dynaformer), dueled and dug in to prevail Sunday at the shore. Breaking from the rail, the :10 flatOBSMAR breezer was quickest from the gate and immediately opened up a clear advantage. Longshot Shield of Faith (King Puma) soon rushed up to challenge, and that pair engaged in a stretch-long battle that saw Gin and Platonic edge away by a half-length. The winner's dam produced a Goldencents filly last term before being bred back to Fed Biz. Sales history: $2,500 Ylg '18 FTKFEB; $3,200 RNA Ylg '18 OBSOCT; $45,000 2yo '19 OBSMAR.
