My friend, and handicapper you all probably know, Mark Cramer, lives in Paris and has as good a handle on this race as anyone. His comments, \"the favorite, Sarafina, is legit. Without her trouble in last year\'s arc, she would have been much closer than her third place finish.More important, she defeated a horse that went on to win two Grade I\'s but is ineligible for the Arc because he is a gelding.\"
