Circus .Clown, winner of five races this season, including one here at Washington Park, and third in the Crete Handicap, went to the post the third choice in the wagering for the Fleming last Saturday.

The veteran Bullish, a stake winner, of former years, was entered by the Denemark stable, along with Provocative, winner of his only start this season.
