Emotional Goodbye for Champion, Fan Favorite California Chrome

Description:
Pegasus stared ahead; his heavy-lidded eyes penetrating and piercing as rain fell. There was to be no flashy Florida sunrise this morning that would briefly turn Pegasus’s coat a burnished and brilliant bronze. Instead, the dark, battleship-grey sky simply turned lighter and it was daylight. The statue darkened in the rain. The atmosphere felt appropriate for the setting, as it is often arduous to say goodbye in bright sunshine. It doesn’t fit the movie in our mind. Dismal spirits call for dark and dull skies.
