Their Trifecta: Broken, Busted, and Beaten

Losers!
Two Neilsons have returned from a total disaster at the track this afternoon. None of their carefully handicapped selections came in the money. Nada. Not Animal Kingdom (slipped at the starting gate); not Nehro, not Shackelford, not even Mucho Macho Man. The Belmont Stakes winner was a longshot, "Ruler on Ice," at 24 to 1. Certainly not a horse ever on the Neilson radar. Wounds were licked out on the screen porch this pleasant evening with a reminder that big sister Mary Lou out in Durango, Colorado, owes the cartel $8.
This evening, Destitute Dan stayed on for a second helping of his sister's weiner water soup.
