Palace Malice was the leader when the field headed down the stretch and he managed to stay out in front of the pack to claim victory. Following Orb's win at the Kentucky Derby and Oxbow's victory at the Preakness Stakes, Palace Malice became the third different winner to claim victory at a triple crown race this year.

As of this morning, Palace Malice was 10/1 but his odds climbed to 12/1 this afternoon, according to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv. Orb opened as the favorite and remained favored heading into post time. The Kentucky Derby winner wound up finishing third at the Belmont.

A $2.00 wager on Palace Malice to win would have netted bettors $29.60. A $2.00 wager on Palace Malice to place would have paid $11.20 and $6.70 to show. A $2.00 wager on Oxbow to place would have paid $9.90 and $6.10 to show. Finally, a $2.00 wager on Orb to place only netted bettors $3.90.

 A $2.00 Exacta on Palace Malice and Oxbow paid $323.50 and a $1.00 Trifecta on Palace Malice, Oxbow and Orb paid $465.50. A $1.00 Superfecta on Palace Malice, Oxbow, Orb and Incognito paid $10,301.00.

ELMONT, NY (The Spread) Which contender will win the 145th running of the Belmont Stakes tonight?

According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, Orb remains the favorite to win tonight's Belmont Stakes at 3/1, while Revoltuionary is 11/2 and Oxbow is 13/2. Freedom Child, meanwhile, is 9/1 while Unlimited Budget and Golden Soul are both 10/1, respectively.

Continuing with the odds, Palace Malice and Overanalyze are both 12/1, respectively, while Incognito is 14/1 and Will Take Charge is 20/1. Vyjack is 25/1, Frac Daddy is 28/1 and Giant Finish and Midnight Taboo are both 33/1, respectively.

Below are our predictions for win, place and show for this evening's race.

WIN: Revolutionary 11/2

Revolutionary finished third at the Kentucky Derby behind Orb and Golden Soul. And unlike Orb and 2013 Preakness Stakes winner Oxbow, Revolutionary is well rested. He has wins in three of his last four outings including at the Grade 3 Withers and the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby on March 30. Look for the well rested Revolutionary to pull off the small upset today.

PLACE: Orb 3/1

Orb will challenge for a money spot after finishing a disappointing fourth at the Preakness Stakes. He has a much favorable post position in the Belmont than he did at Pimlico last month, as he'll start out of the No. 5 gate. Fatigue could be a factor but Orb is too good not to take to finish

ELMONT, NY (The Spread) Two potential sleepers will battle it out in the 2013 Belmont Stakes when Freedom Child and Golden Soul compete at Belmont Park this evening.

Golden Soul finished a surprising second in the Kentucky Derby behind only Orb. He also finished fourth in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby on March 30 and sixth at the Grade 2 Risen Star on February 23. His only other start in a graded stakes event came on January 19 when he placed second.
