INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Trainer Ron Ellis said Sunday that Centralinteligence and Rail Trip emerged from the Grade 1 Triple Bend Handicap on Saturday “perfect,” but they are headed in different directions in the next two months.
Centralinteligence, who scored the first stakes win of his career in the Triple Bend, will get a vacation during the summer and will not run at Del Mar. His next start will be the Grade 1 Santa Anita Sprint Championship – formerly the Ancient Title – as a prep for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita.
