You have to wonder... if it's Lightning Dust what reason would she have to attempt to murder (Dash only being saved by the cotton candy) and sabotage Rainbow Dash? Rainbow wasn't even responsible for her losing her dream. It was Spitfire who ripped the badge off and made her leave, Rainbow Dash only said the way Lightning was being rewarded for reckless behaviour wasn't good. Wouldn't she want to sabotage Spitfire? I can understand Wind Rider wanting to do that, but not Lightning Dust. Unless... *gasp* what of Lightning Dust is Wind Rider's daughter or niece? That would explain why he needed to indict Dashie of an attempted "disappearance" in the first place.

Maybe Lightning Dust told her father/uncle about the academy and he began his plan to utterly ruin Rainbow Dash's reputation? It would be a lot less petty than "Rainbow was going to break his record".
