1. this happens a lot, horse is worked by exercise rider (or jockey), they tell people, horse shows up in mdn claimer, then gets claimed or an offer to buy the horse happens.
2. Difference is a horse is not in a race where the best effort to win was put forth and then the agent of said horses offers to buy it.
1 happens all the time, thats part of racing...2 seems a little shady.
