Gun Runner's Nimah Graduates at First-Asking Against Del Mar Maidens

Nimah Benoit

8th-Del Mar, $61,500, Msw, 11-23, 2yo, f, 6 1/2f, 1:16.75, ft, 1 3/4 lengths.
NIMAH (f, 2, Gun Runner–E. T. Indy, by A.P. Indy) went right to the front on this debut and led the pack through an opening quarter in :22.49 and four furlongs in :45.07. Clearing her inside rivals and challenged by Miss Watermelon (Cairo Prince) at the three-eighths pole, she was called on for more at the head of the lane to keep that rival at bay by 1 3/4 lengths.

The victress is a half-sister to course record-setter My Indy (English Channel), SP, $221,804 and two other winners. Nimah, a $550,000 purchase last year at the FTSAUG sale, is the most recent to the races for E.T. Indy, who has since produced a yearling colt by Oxbow. The mare went to Elite Power for 2026.

This is the immediate female family of Grade I winner Fantastic Look (Green Dancer), herself dam of GISW Designed for Luck (Rahy). Sales history: $550,000 Ylg '24 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
