if i was given a 5 second window after the break, I could watch the break AND get in a cancellation. like many have mentioned, using youbet you have the cancellation loaded and ready so all you have to do is click confirm if you see your horse stumble or whatever.

you couldnt do this with a teller. although you could also do it at a sam machine like sniper said. you load in your ticket and it asks you to confirm the cancel, yes/no. 5 seconds is plenty of time at the break to know if your horse broke well or not.

i don't know what all the controversy is about on this. it would not be hard to do if this loophole existed somewhere. I have never seen it, my perception is that things shutdown pretty much at the break or slightly before during loading.

i cancel tickets quickly on youbet if my horse breaks through the front of the gate, and has to be reloaded.
