Kingly seemed almost like a "throwaway" entry to begin with; he ran less than 2 weeks ago and was well beaten as the favorite.

Perhaps Baffert was simply making use of shipping space while at the same time taking the opportunity to space out his 3yo colts. In addition, Santa Anita is requiring horsemen to obtain "approval" to ship out of town, so maybe he was testing the waters or playing chess with the racing office.
