That's impossible. That would defeat the whole point of a future wager, that being taking all of the risk involved with who will make it and who will run where.

If there were provisions for things like that, there would also need to be provisions for things like bonehead rides that cost a horse a Derby victory, or refunds for horses whose trainers just decide that the Derby isn't for their horse, or horses who want to get in the field but can't because of changes in graded earnings between the time the pool opens and Derby day.
