Autumn is here, so here’s a post-punk ditty with the word “autumn” in it, as in “Autumn’s so well done, so well done…”

Amazingly, we can pluck out seemingly random topics such as the New York Phil, Chik-Fil-A, Echo & The Bunnymen and still manage to dispense complimentary triple-digit winners (plus another on the pay-side) — on the same day. How is this all possible? Buzzer reflexes!

You think Ritual Circumcision Handicappersz or MasterTrak would even dare to stray beyond the dirt, synth and turf? Never! They have the blinkersz strapped on tight. They would wind up with a negative amount after the Double J! round and thus be ineligible to participate in Final J!

However, we admit they’re probably good at fantasy stuff, like fantasy American Gridiron Throwball and fantasy stables. They probably do like their fantasy stuff.

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 6, 7, 9
Calder 5, 8, 9
The Fairplex 6, 9, 10

Any $100-plus monsters in this group? Only one way to know…

Pay-side: Go ahead and order up for your weekend, right here. Rundown…

Laurel 2, 4, 6
Woodbine 1, 6, 7
Arlington 5, 7, 10, 11
Louisiana 5, 8, 10
Turfway 4, 9, 12
Remington 1, 3, 8

Dreary start to the new season Back East. Regrets. To compensate, an added race at Arlington Hts., Ill., where you’ll also find one of those infamous tetrafecta Bonkers Boxes. Bossier & Oklahoma Cities also strong in the midwest. Clement weather.

Nocturnal Submission: Many hopes in Race 6 at Chas. Town (9:27 p.m. EDT / 6:27 p.m. PDT), #4 Tobe Suave and #9 Rumbling Cloud are overlooked contenders. …Later, in the ninth (10:52 / 7:52) there, #1 Blinking Red is hardly the worst 15-1 morning-line horse you’ll encounter. …Race 4 at Retama (9:03 / 6:03) has a strong dually confirmed entrant in #6 Tessa’s Magic. …

Thank you. Bye-bye.
