HOUSTON, TX—APRIL 5, 2018—According to an article published today on the PaulickReport.com, a clocker at Sam Houston Race Park and two Quarter Horse trainers have been fined and suspended by Texas Racing Commission stewards after an investigation determined that fraudulent workouts on at least 10 horses were entered into the Equibase system that documents workouts and racing results for both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing.

Clocker Tiffani Hebert was fined $5,000 and her license as a racing official was suspended for five years for “providing false information for publication” and violating the “duties of morning clocker.”

Trainers Javier Contreras and Carlos Saldivar were each fined $1,000 and had their licenses suspended by stewards for 30 days for violation of commission rules regarding false statements and providing information to the racing commission.

The commission's executive director, using the authority granted to the position, increased the sanctions to Contreras to equal the fine and suspension given Hebert. Saldivar's suspension was increased to one year.

Hebert admitted to entering fraudulent Sam Houston Race Park workouts into Equibase for 10 horses belonging to “multiple trainers” in late December 2017 and early January 2018.

Saldivar tied for leading trainer at the recently concluded Quarter Horse Meet at Louisiana Downs and Contreras won 15 races from 60 starts during that meet.
