The “2024/25 Horse Racing Season Opening Day” was held at Sha Tin Racecourse, marking the start of the new horse racing season with a grand opening ceremony in the horse debut ring before the first race. Chief Executive Li Ka-chiu served as the officiating guest and presided over the lion’s eye-dotting and gong-ringing ceremony. A group of jockeys also appeared to meet horse racing fans.

Edan Lu, a renowned singer, was invited to perform after the last race. He jokingly referred to himself as a “lamp god” and advised the audience, “If I give you a tip, please try not to buy the horse. It will increase your chances of winning.”

Edan, a first-time visitor to the racecourse, tried his luck by placing a bet but unfortunately missed. He humorously referred to himself as the “god of lights” and revealed that he is about to start working on a new drama, invited by Tse Jun-ho. Edan expressed his admiration for Tse’s acting skills and looked forward to learning from him. He also mentioned that he will continue to release songs, emphasizing the importance of practice in both acting and singing.

Regarding his rumored girlfriend Lin Mingzhen, Edan admitted that they had been in contact during her break and expressed concern for her well-being. He politely declined to comment further, asking for space and allowing the public to continue speculating.

Edan’s performance and the grand opening ceremony marked a successful start to the 2024/25 horse racing season at Sha Tin Racecourse.
