2013 Belmont Stakes odds: Morning line released

Coming off the official announcement of post positions Wednesday, Orb maintains his status as the favorite going into this weekend’s Belmont Stakes. Having avoided the inside track that confounded him during the Preakness, Orb looks primed to be a major contender again as the 3/1 favorite in the final leg of this year’s Triple Crown.

Preakness winner Oxbow, currently with 5/1 odds, also remains one of the favorites, but other contenders still loom in the $1 million race. Freedom Child and Revolutionary -- 8/1 and 9/2 odds -- could also make some noise Saturday.

Here are full odds for the field:

Orb - 3/1
Revolutionary - 9/2
Oxbow - 5/1
Freedom Child - 8/1
Unlimited Budget - 8/1
Golden Soul - 10/1
Overanalyze - 12/1
Palace Malice - 15/1
Will Take Charge - 20/1
Vyjack - 20/1
Incognito - 20/1
Frac Daddy - 30/1
Giant Finish - 30/1
Midnight Taboo - 30/1
