Assistance with extracting timestamp from log file

I have some log files that have a diffrent time format than I have ran into before.
The log files timestamps look like this.
5/14/2014^2:54:39:16^
Day/month/year^hour:min:sec:ms

I can get the auto timestamp to recognize the Day/Month/year but has no idea how to look at the time. Can anyone suggest a strip time or props.conf regex to allow splunk to process this?

Does this work?

TIME_FORMAT=%m/%d/%Y^%H:%M:%S:%f

I dragged it out of an old Python spec.
