I have never seen an automatic teller machine that has the cancel function once you have printed the ticket. I have punched out thousands of my own tickets, and the only way to cancel is to take it to a live teller.
If you wait to print the ticket for a few seconds after the break, that would be similar, but not quite the same as cancelling an already live ticket.

You can cancel them yourself here now, as long as it is before 1mtp, at the automatic teller machines.

Yeah, we just got the feature I think last year when Arlington started. I think if your ticket is over $500 you have to go to the teller also.

We are getting these new machines now where you can bet off your Twin Spires Club card, no tickets at all. It is a good feature for me because I am probably the most hilarious person with tickets, lose them all the time, although we haven't had one recently. Largest voucher I lost was for $412, that wasn't a good day.

I don't think those machines will be that popular because people like holding a ticket, and then showing everyone they had it.
