Grifters Pot: Arklow Ages

Can Amlan and his two allies at Churchill-Downs defy a baron-calculation indicative of Western doom?

A fable about fortune-wagers and horse-champion ideology inspired by The Grifters (John Cusack), which I think you'll enjoy,

Follow along on this journey of three 'grifters' at the Churchill-Downs races where a blood-diamond baron named Bridge is spending some pretty-penny investing in a potential millionaire prodigy horse for a company of great capitalism Ego (Arklow). The Grifters are marshaled by captain Satan (Amlan) who leads his two younger idealists (Ezzy/Raki) to confound the gem-dominion of Baron Goldfinger who intends to make the possible-champion race-horse a being of great expressions (Arklow).

AMLAN: I've marked this horse/Arklow as a trophy-being for social-media fans of DNA.

Ezzy, a Harvard-grad, met Amlan Satan at a Garden State horse-event during which she found the sharp-brained Grifter a rather iconic human diplomat of capitalism-chess and wondered how he got involved in the world of diamond-advertising (for insurance-examination).

Raki, a princely-inheritor of fortunes, was happily living in Thailand when Amlan was traveling there, visiting the ancient golden-city, where Raki found him and found his ideations of world-culture profiteerism quite witty and didn't mind his rather 'vigilante' approach to Baron Goldfinger's empire of fortune-driven corruption and began examining the nature of insurance-integrity tied to the 'sullied' conflict-zone Earth-market drawing film-makers to create world-thespian inclusions in blood-diamond storytelling (wow).

AMLAN: I may challenge Goldfinger with my pocket-magnet chess-board for Arklow.

GOLDFINGER: Why would I offer my Arklow 'blue-chips' for a Grifter-game with you?
AMLAN SATAN: How'd you surmise I'd be a 'simplified' Grifter, baron?
GOLDFINGER: I didn't guess/think you'd engage with me unless you were a chef.

AMLAN SATAN: I'm only trying to create an alternative to Hell's Kitchen with Arklow!

GOLDFINGER: Alright; but I need more evidence you're a sharp-brain before I invest.

AMLAN SATAN: That's cool, Goldfinger; maybe we'd draw a cyber-post about cinema.

GOLDFINGER: Regarding?
AMLAN SATAN: We'd make a celeb-image of Arklow tied to a movie-story about racing.

GOLDFINGER: Why?
AMLAN SATAN: We'd both benefit from the insurance-chess of race-world psychiatry.

Ezzy/Raki implored Amlan their captain to disclose what he conferred with Baron Goldfinger about regarding insurance-media about the race-horse knight (Arklow) but Amlan insisted they complete the Churchill-Downs mission before he revealed anything about the evil(s) of the bad-baron of blood-diamond chess and meanwhile persuaded his two allies to distract Goldfinger with a plate of quiche while Amlan himself created a Derby-race event investor field-gossip circulation regarding a potential 'stranger' investment in Arklow's company because of his hyped future-potential.

AMLAN: Quiche-hospitality will rescue all from the Hell of piracy at Churchill-Downs!

EZZY: What's so special about Churchill-Downs, Mr. Satan?
AMLAN: You may guess the answer to such a riddle, Ezzy my love (Arklow).

EZZY: I'd wager you'd been a fan of Richie-Rich comics as a child, Amlan.

AMLAN: That's like incompletely 80% likely-true, Ezzy; but let's talk marriage later!

EZZY: You knew I'd court you with a Richie-Rich optimism.

AMLAN: Arklow-the-alien tied to Goldfinger's empire doesn't equal oblivion (for now).

EZZY: You're such a comics-character, Mr. Satan.

AMLAN: Some say I might be Richie-Rich (himself).

EZZY: Wow!

GOLDFINGER: What the hell are you doing in my Kentucky apartment; how'd you in?

AMLAN: Your concierge was convinced I was your past-life liaison of intrigue, baron!

GOLDFINGER: What the heck do you want (now), Mr. Satan?
AMLAN: I want you to post on Facebook that Arklow is like Black Beauty.

GOLDFINGER: Like in that movie (or something)?

AMLAN: Excellence; correct.

GOLDFINGER: Why should I offer such a deed (for you)?
AMLAN: You know why, Goldfinger...your dominion argues Homeland hinges.

Ezzy congratulated Amlan Satan with a whiskey-spin drink after he achieved the Arklow-media required to expose Goldfinger's corruption/erosion of gem-market insurance chess tied to Arklow-Derby laurels and inquired why he became an 'avid-fan' of the Kentucky Derby.

AMLAN: Let's just 'believe' that Arklow is nothing less than a unicorn (for patriots).

"Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone" (John Maynard Keynes).
