@TDISportsClips I bet Weber St. +6.75 to beat UNC, parlays, would a great day in life! Never forget Harold, the best

March 13, 1999: #6 Florida gets by #14 Weber State 82-74 in OT in R2. WSU had upset #3 UNC in R1, led by Harold “The Show” Arceneaux’s 36 pts. Against UF he had 32pts & 9rebs UF, w/ Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem, & Teddy Dupay, were led by Greg Stolt’s 26

Serena's Song claimed her first Graded Stakes win in the Landaluce at Hollywood Park. She would be victorious in 11 Graded Stakes.

Serena's Song, may she rest in peace, with D. Wayne Lukas calling the shots for owners Bob & Beverly Lewis put up one of the most incredible body of works by a filly/mare in racing history. Any other barn, likely doesn't attain her amazing career on the racetrack. Maiden breaker, second career start 11,000 at Hollywood, California bet $7.4 million on the Saturday card. @GStevens_jockey

What a privilege it has been. With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Hall of Famer and Champion Serena’s Song. She passed away peacefully from old age the morning of Wednesday, March 11th, and would have officially turned 34 on April 4th. Serena will be laid to rest at her lifelong home with us at Denali Stud. We would like to thank everyone for their continued love and support of her over the years, especially the Lewis family, and all of our staff and vets that cared for her on a daily basis. She meant the world to all of us, and changed us all for the better. We love you Serena, thank you for everything.
