With only 5 days of voting left in the All Star Mile, it’s looking like another photo finish for the people’s horse, Tom Melbourne.
Two weeks ago, off the back of his drought-breaking win, online bookmaker Sportsbet announced their public support for Tom Melbourne and his quest to gain entry to the All-Star Mile Field.
At the time, Tom was sitting at 55th and without a snowballs chance in hell of earning a call up, but with a little less than a week left in voting, he now sits at 14th.
Sportsbet has been promoting the race and Tom Melbourne through their social channels, their betting platform and their on-air partnerships in recent weeks.
Still shy of a guaranteed spot by 900 votes, Sportsbet will continue to implore punters to cast their vote for this special, special horse right up until the close of voting.
“Connections, punters and fans have suffered enough heartbreak with Tom and his perilously close finishes, jump online, cast your vote and help him earn an incredibly deserved spot in this fantastic race,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Rich Hummerston.
