Been a while since I've been in the clocker's stand, but can tell you that a good clocking crew will have a notebook with all of the horses on the grounds, complete with their markings and tatoo numbers.
The crews I worked with caught many a trainer giving us a bad name for a horse working. We always had a member of the crew at the gap, and did flip a lip on occassion. Also followed horses back to the barn.
