Those canceled bets aren't on horses that break well and go to the front either.
I know a former teller that stated at most tracks there is one machine that allows you to cancel tickets up to 45 seconds into the race in case they screw up on a large wager, they have the opportunity to cancel it and not have to pay out of their own pockets.

wasn't there a teller who had it down pat and could get down a big win bet if he saw the lone speed break well from the gate .... i think it was at GP or somewhere down in florida or like you say above the teller could cxl the ticket in time if the lone speed didn't break well and lost all chance at the start, who polices the tellers?

The tracks know this is going on, they cant afford a huge scandal so they keep it on the hush hush. For the most part its the regular heavy hitters that have this down pat, they sure cant afford to lose the high rollers.
