A day after the closest finish in the history of the the legendary 500-mile road race not far away, there was horse power of a different variety on display at Horseshoe Indianapolis when Shadwell Stable's well related Nahla (Authentic) graduated in convincing style to enhance her future residual value.They didn't need a photo finish to call the winner of this one.The bay filly ran very well against much tougher in her first two appearances, finishing second over an extended mile at Tampa on debut Feb. 28 before rounding out the exacta in a seven-furlong Gulfstream maiden Apr. 23. Her respective Beyers of 76 and 81 towered over her rivals here and she was duly sent off at 30 cents on the dollar to get the job done at career start three.Drawing in when this race came off the grass, the $550,000 Keeneland September yearling was trapped out as many as five paths deep for the run around the first turn and raced in a three-wide third down the back. Asked to take up the running three furlongs out, Nahla turned for home narrowly in front of second choice Miso Speedy (Mendelssohn) and found a second wind once switching her leads to take it by a comfortable margin.The winner–a May foal–is a half-sister to this year's GI Pegasus World Cup winner Skippylongstocking (Exaggerator), GISW, $5,893,650; Olivia Twist (Mshawish), SW & GSP, $321,579; and Moonlite Strike (Liam's Map), SW & GSP, $175,205. Twinkling's current 2-year-old, a filly by Not This Time, fetched $1 million from Repole Stable at Keeneland September last fall and the mare produced a filly by Curlin on Apr. 25.6th-Horseshoe Indianapolis, $32,000, Msw, 5-25, 3yo, f, 1 1/16m (off turf), 1:43.33, ft, 1 3/4 lengths.NAHLA (f, 3, Authentic–Twinkling, by War Chant) Sales history: $550,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP.
