"The colt He's Waliim unnerved its rivals unexpectedly, taking them off guard in the race"
Newcomer He's Waliim Shines in Debut Race at Beverley
Jockey Clifford Lee guided the promising Too Darn Hot colt, He's Waliim, to a commanding six-length victory in his maiden race at Beverley on August 13, 2025. The race, a 7.5f event, marked He's Waliim's debut in the racing world, and it was a performance that left a lasting impression.
He's Waliim, whose dam is a half-sister to the German Oaks winner Palmas, demonstrated a professional temperament and impressive mannerisms during the race. Lee tactically let the colt settle in front and then accelerated, catching the other horses off guard and leaving them in his wake.
The victory was significant, as He's Waliim's opponent, Conjecture, has finished runner-up on all five of his starts. The performance and strong pedigree of He's Waliim suggest that he is a horse to follow in future races.
Lee, who was impressed with He's Waliim, stated that the colt was ready to run earlier in the season but was held back due to shin issues. Despite this setback, He's Waliim showed great speed and stamina, attributes that bode well for his future races.
Trainer James Tate also expressed positive sentiments about He's Waliim, stating that he liked him a lot. Tate's confidence in He's Waliim, combined with the colt's impressive debut performance, makes him a promising juvenile with strong potential for future success.
