good idea.
also, consistency in rules and regs nationwide, rather than state to state.

I'd really like to see the horses that I wager on win more often...I think there's something wrong with many of them as I know I picked the right horse.

I'd like to see horses taken down for herding.For instance,Bushwacker did that.You can't just expect horses to ignore it when other horses come over quickly on them.They slow down to protect themselves from that horse.You don't have to have contact to bother horses badly(although in the case I mentioned there was contact that was ignored as well as the herding.)

A thorough revamping of the grading process. The current methodology is a joke.

If you can make a bet after the gates have opened, then I would like to be able to cancel a wager before the 1/4 pole. Seems fair to me.

I want more of the good horses to retire during, or immediately after, their 3yo campaigns. Last year I got so tired of watching old geezers like Corinthian and Lawyer Ron winning important G1 races that should properly be reserved for 3rd tier 3yos to win in their farewell race.

Default I would like

For the various state jurisdictions get together and become more uniform on a number of issues: medications, stake races (not having multiple states that are close to one another have the same type of races written on the same day or one day apart), licensing rules, etc. Of course i am dreaming on this one.
