Luke Middlebrook's Hong Kong Selections and Analysis for Wednesday, May 7, 2025 at Happy Valley.
Desert Flower won Sunday’s Group 1 English 1000 Guineas at Newmarket Racecourse in Britain to complete an unprecedented trans-Atlantic sweep of four classic races for Godolphin Racing in less than 48 hours.
After racing on the inside for the first mile and rallying wide through the stretch, the improving colt Redentor won his first Grade 1 race in Sunday’s $3.9 million spring running of the Tenno Sho at Kyoto Racecourse in Japan for his fourth win in his last five starts.
Ruling Court pulled a rare Guineas double when capturing the English 2000 Guineas on Saturday at Newmarket, his first start since an overwhelming victory at Meydan Racecourse in the Jumeirah 2000 Guineas – and looked like a special horse doing it.
Redentor is a distance specialist, which makes him the favorite to win the spring running of the Grade 1 Tenno Sho at two miles at Kyoto Racecourse in Japan on Sunday.

There was no need for photo finishes last year when Desert Flower won all four of her starts in England, ending with the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket in October. Equally as impressive, Lake Victoria was undefeated in five starts in Ireland, England, and the United States, in a campaign that concluded in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. At least one of them will lose an unbeaten record when they have their first starts of 2025 in Sunday's Group 1 English 1000 Guineas at a mile at Newmarket.
