A shadow is just an area of an object with less light shining on it, it
isn't a "thing". Take away the object and there is no longer any surface
for there to be an absence of light on.
If you just want a solid colored background with only a shadow, no
shading or horizon visible, set the background to the desired color and
use a plane with a flat color pigment and "brilliance 0" in the finish
statement:
background rgb < 1, 1, 1>
plane {y, 0
texture {
pigment {rgb < 1, 1, 1>}
finish {brilliance 0}
}
}
