Well, you CAN do that at places like EhorseX and Tradesports. I don't think they have futures for the Derby up yet, but they have put them up pretty early in the past. And I know Tradesports is responsive to email requests, if someone is eager to get going.
Each of those sites functions as a market in which shares in Derby contenders are bought and sold.
Of course, activity and interest are pretty limited until the Derby gets closer. Also, if you want to "buy" a share, it's risky to leave the offer open. If the horse gets injured, someone is going to rush to sell you the share you want.
