It happens a bit, I recieved this earlier this year:

Equibase:
This notice is to inform you that one or more of your horses has worked out.
Shake You Down
Date: September 24, 2008
Track: HAWTHORNE
Distance: Four Furlongs
Time: 49:80 Breezing
Track Condition: Fast
Surface: Dirt
Rank: 13/47


I emailed the track and they replied, said the clocker apparently "scrolled down too far" and that it was a workout by Shakey.

I've since cleaned out my stable mail.

Street Sense worked a half mile at River Downs about 2 days before the Preakness in 2007. I think some people prank call the clockers and sometimes the clockers might mishear the name on the radio.

the guy calls in "Yeah i got Candini going 5/8ths with Carl' and the clocker heres Bandini, there u have it.
