Pall

Well, if the rain wasn’t enough to cast a pall over the Oaks crowd, then certainly Chelokee’s breakdown did little to help the mood.
The fact that it was Matz on Derby weekend with a horse who won the Barbaro Stakes only adds to drama of the situation.
I think of these incidents and of Little Cliff, and it breaks my heart.
