WSEX and VIP/Gameday have Wanderin Boy at 30-1. TheGreek is usually agreeable to making a line for a horse not on its list. If you emailed them about Wanderin Boy, they might put him up at better than 30-1. Better do it quick, though!

As far as "selling" the futures, Pinnacle will usually put up a wins/loses line once it becomes clear who's in. Tradesports may make a market in it, too. Also, Ehorse has recently re-opened its horse betting exchange, but I haven't checked it out yet. (Talk about bad timing--they reopened, with a big email announcement, on the exact day that the new Internet gaming law went through Congress.)
