I :

- watch the gate open
- watch my horse go off
- decide if the break was good or bad enough for my horse
- turn to the clerk and say, "Cancel this bet!" and hand my ticket back
- the bet gets entered and canceled

All of the above three seconds? I don't think so.

What if the bettor that is cancelling is the teller (they've been known to punch a ticket or two for themselves). Takes the highlighted step out of the equation.

Replace that step with:

- ticket is loaded and finger rests on the cancel button.
