I'm pretty close to this situation knowing some of the connections, and watching him race and train I just knew he was "just a horse" - so to speak.

Oh please!
Nothing like a little exageration and chest thumping about how you alone knew that BD was a fraud and EVERYBODY in the racing world was duped. Joel you act as if this horse was 1-10 odds in the derby. What was he? 7-8 to one? To say that everyone in the racing world was ready to lay the Roses oner his withers, shouldn't he at have been the favorite in the derby?
Hell, i'm not close to the connections like you and i had very big doubts about his derby prospects, as did many others. I'd refer to this type of situation as discovering an underlay, not as a fraud and it does not mean that the horse is not legitimate.
(Just noticed i used three "nots" in that last sentence. Well you know what i mean!)
