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.
