I agree -- I came up with a similar regex:

.*?(\b\d{1,2})\D*?\s(\b(Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|J ul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec)[a-z]*)
\s+(\d{4}).*

Minor quibble about \D*? vs (st|nd|rd|th)?. However, \d{4} for the
year term doesn't allow for 2-digit years. Works for OP's single
sample record, but it's not very general.
