Punters crunch Arty into firm Ballarat Pacing Cup favourite

TAB punters have spoken in the lead-up to Saturday's PETstock Ballarat Pacing Cup.

Lochinvar Art and Expensive Ego had opened equal $2.60 favourites earlier in the week, but the market has changed in a big way.

“Arty” is now a clear $1.70 favourite while Expensive Ego is out to $3.20, with the pair and Spirit Of St Louis ($4-$5) the only horses under double figures to take out the Group 1 feature.

Lochinvar Art and Expensive Ego dominate the hold with over 90 per cent of the early money riding on them.
