Serena's Song turns 30 years old

Hall of Fame racemare and blue hen Serena’s Song turns 30 this week. The mare, who resides at Denali Stud in Paris, Ky., was foaled April 4, 1992.

Serena’s Song, who raced for Robert and Beverly Lewis and trainer D. Wayne Lukas, won 18 of 38 starts and earned more than $3.2 million in a career that saw her inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002. Her 17 graded stakes wins included 11 Grade 1 victories. She defeated males in the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational and Grade 2 Jim Beam in 1995 in an Eclipse Award championship campaign in which she also posted Grade 1 wins against females in the Santa Ynez, Las Virgenes, Santa Anita Oaks, Mother Goose, Gazelle, and Beldame.
