Slade Callaghan has just inherited the mount on Three Ring Circus from Gary Boulanger, who was on a horse who acted up in the gate in the fifth race.

Pink Lloyd opened up at 3-5 in his quest to win his seventh straight stakes. He drew ideally on the outside under Eurico Da Silva, who has been serving a suspension but has an exemption to ride today's two stakes.

Jacks Escarpment, who gave Pink Lloyd a run for his money when second in the Aug. 30 Kenora Stakes, is the early 6-1 second choice.
