Maybe I didn't express myself clearly, nobody (at least not me) is talking about ticket cancellation at all. Here in CA at the otb if you fill out a bet card for a pick 4/5/6/etc there is one field of numbers for your main selections in a race, and then right below it there is a separate field for alternate selections. If one of your main choices was scratched and you chose an alternate for that race, it would become the replacement pick. If no alternate was chosen, you would receive the post-time favorite.
I know it was done that way for years and only turned into a mess because of one unscrupulous employee at autotote. But I think the current method of defaulting to the favorite is fine and in my opinion is better than depriving people the chance at a big score by reducing their ticket to a conso.
